Family, Friends and Carers Group
FFC aims to create a space where people who are family, friends and carers of those with lived experience of mental illness can use their knowledge to help shape opportunities for mental health support in the future.
The group will play a leading role in shaping a mental health friendly culture across the City of Southampton by sharing their perspective with those in a position to engineer change.
Our vision
-
Give a voice to family, friends and carers of those who have experienced or are experiencing mental illness.
-
Enable them to contribute to making Southampton a mental health friendly city.
How does it work?
We aim to meet on Zoom every 4-6 weeks. The group is not a support group, as such. It is more a platform for family, friends and carers to share information and experiences.
Our perspective will be included in informing and fostering a more mental health friendly Southampton.
