About Mental Health Outreach Program

The Carer Peer Support Project aims to lessen the confusion and stress for Carers who are caring for a person with a mental illness. Peer support workers who are, or have been Carers, offer Carers face to face information and referral services when they need to talk to someone about their experience. Workers are located at both the Psychiatric Services Unit (at The Canberra Hospital) and Ward 2N at Calvary Hospital.
