📣Calling all poets and writers 📝

Rethink Mental Illness is running its annual poetry competition, this year inspired by beautiful artwork by Finn Clarke.

🥇The winner of competition will receive £100 for themselves and £900 for their local Rethink Carer Support Group to spend on activities to support the wellbeing of their members.

Good luck! 🤞🏼

Our friendly WhatsApp group continues to grow week-on-week, with carers joining together to provide support to each other and chat about the issues that matter to us.

We know that, sometimes, it’s good to be surrounded by people who “just get it”. That’s exactly what we do in our WhatsApp group.

If you’d like to join or find out more, please drop us a message or email our Group Co-Ordinator.

Back in October, we held our Mental Health and Families conference in Cambridge.

As a committee we are pleased about how it went. The attendance was 60 in total with around 40 being unpaid carers and most of the rest were interested professionals.

✅The feedback has been excellent, with one attendee saying “I thought the talk on Schizophrenia was one of the best I’ve ever heard. I learnt much about the importance of families and relationships”

📷Some pictures of the event are below featuring colleagues from Making Space - Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Carer Support and other professionals.

💛🎄The holiday season can be magical, but for many, it can also bring stress, pressure, and overwhelming feelings. If you’re finding this time of year tough, know that it’s okay to not feel okay. Here are a few gentle reminders:

✨Christmas doesn’t have to be picture-perfect.
✨ You don’t need matching pyjamas to create special memories.
✨ You don’t need the biggest TV or the fanciest decorations to feel the holiday spirit.
✨ The number of presents under the tree doesn’t measure your love or worth as a parent or friend.

The heart of Christmas is about presence, not perfection. It’s about love, kindness, and togetherness—not competition or comparison.

If you’re feeling the pressure, take a deep breath: You’re doing enough.

And if you’re finding it hard, remember you’re not alone. Support is here whenever you need it. This Christmas, let’s focus on what truly matters: each other. 💚
