Attending a carer support group can help you meet other carers to share experiences and gain more support and ideas to help you in your caring own situation.
Support groups can also be a good place to make new friends and give you an opportunity to take time out from your caring role.
A list of carer support groups in Edinburgh is provided here. This list provides information about who should attend, when meetings are held and how to contact the group facilitator.
Please note: this list was accurate as of October 2010. Changes may have occurred since then, and we recommend you contact the group before attending a meeting, to make sure these details are correct.
It is also likely that other groups may have started since then, or are not included here. If you can’t find a group that meets your needs, then contact the Edinburgh CHP Carer Support Team for up to date information for your area.
