Get help Support groups Support groups 'I felt at a loss and didn't know how to get the help we need but through the support group, I not only found support and practical advice but friendships too. The Carer Advocate does an amazing job in providing one to one support as well as group meeting plus sourcing courses for members. Thank you CAUSE!' It can be difficult to talk about your concerns with other people who may not understand or appreciate what you can encounter in supporting a loved one with mental illness. We facilitate a network of monthly support groups for families, partners and friends across Northern Ireland. CAUSE support groups provide you with the opportunity to meet with other people who have similar experiences to you in a safe space. Many carers value the support, learning and social interaction they get from meeting other carers in our groups. Our support groups are for strictly for mental health carers - friends, family, partners who care and support someone living with a severe and complex mental illness. They are closed confidential groups rather than walk in or open door.
