About this Event
Welcome to the Caregiver of Mental Illness Support Group!
Join us at Inclusion Parksville Society for a safe space where caregivers can come together to share experiences, offer support, and find resources. This in-person event aims to provide a supportive community for those caring for loved ones with mental illness.
Whether you’re a parent, sibling, partner, or friend, this group is here for you. Connect with others who understand the challenges you face and gain valuable insights and coping strategies. Together, we can navigate the ups and downs of caregiving for individuals with mental health conditions.
Your loved one may be walking through Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Depression (or Depressive Disorder), Psychotic Episodes, Psychosis, Schizoaffective Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Substance Use, Anosognosia, or Co-occurring Mental Health Conditions. Each of these comes with their own struggle, and constantly explaining yourself to loved ones or others who are not immediately in the situation is exhausting. Just learning the language can be a huge barrier to coming alongside your loved one.
Come and join us at our next meeting to find understanding, empathy, and strength in our shared journey. We look forward to welcoming you to our supportive community!
MHRP-CI exists to offer support, care, and education for loved ones on the journey. This support group is for anyone in the greater Nanaimo area who needs a supportive, non-judgmental community.
You will find skilled facilitators with lived experience who foster an open, listening environment. There is no judgement, and no definitive answers. There is a supportive community who have walked similar paths as you and can offer their advice and encouragement along the way.
