The forum is a place for mental health carers to get support, share stories as well as gain information. There are other pages on the site to add your own website link or other links you feel may be of interest, you can also upload files and documents as well as add photo's you would like to share with others.

How it works

First you need a yahoo ID, . If you are already registered with yahoo you may use the ID you already have and sign in when you click on the above link. If you do not have a yahoo ID you can register by clicking on the above link, under the sign in there is an option to create an ID. It is free to join, once you have set up your account with yahoo you are then able to register with the group. You will need a user name and password, the user name is usually an alias (not your real name) When filling in your user profile also choose the alternative email option using your own email address. (This will save you having to search for messages) Once everything is set up any emails sent through the forum will go to all who have joined the group. You then have a choice of either responding to the emails that take your interest or not.
