Support groups

A safe and confidential space to talk, to learn about mental illness and services but also to connect with others who are dealing with similar issues and problems.

Our vision

Partners in care - Supporters in recovery - Advocates for Change

Giving regularly helps us to continue our support to many families, friends and partners caring for a loved one with a serious mental illness as it allows us to plan for our future projects and services. You can make a one off donation too or give regularly now or you can also send your donation simply. If you require any further information about making a donation to CAUSE, please call us on 028 9065 0650 or email: [email protected]

Supporting Activities

We arrange supporting activities and short breaks to ensure carers can prioritise their own health and well-being.

Our services

Established in 1995, CAUSE is peer-led which means it is run by carers for carers. We know from direct personal experience the issues carers can face. Whether you just need someone to talk to, guidance on finding your way around or accessing services, how to work with professionals, learning more about mental illness, support available for carers or dealing with other problems, we are here for you.
