We’re Still Accepting Referrals – Carers Support Project

In partnership with Sheffield Flourish and Space To Breathe , we’re providing carers in Sheffield with practical, crisis, and wellbeing support.

This project, funded by the ICB through Sheffield, enables us to offer:

• Crisis support – assistance when the person you care for is experiencing a mental health crisis.
• Wellbeing support – access to tools, techniques, groups, and resources to help you look after your own wellbeing.

Support is available to any carer looking after someone with a mental health challenge. You can self-refer or be referred by another organisation.

The project brings together the skills and specialisms of three local mental health organisations, working collaboratively to ensure carers get the help they need, when they need it.

Did you know?

The Sheffield Primary and Community Mental Health Service provides support and interventions for adults experiencing serious mental illness, offering care close to where people live. Our goal is not only to help those in need but also to provide early support to prevent mental health from worsening.

Our Community Connectors work closely with colleagues in Primary Care Networks (PCNs) to ensure that individuals with severe mental illness receive the most suitable local support. They also empower people to feel more confident and connected within their communities.

Based at our Wellbeing Centre and working across local PCNs, Community Connectors help people access a wide range of community resources—supporting them to overcome any barriers that might stop them from getting involved or benefitting from that support.

Referrals to the Community Connectors service are made through GPs.
