What might healing look like?

Healing is different for everyone.

For some people, it means learning to feel safe again.

For others, it involves rebuilding confidence, reconnecting with their values, developing healthy boundaries, or learning to trust themselves once more.

Recovery is rarely a straight line. There will be easier days and harder days. That doesnโ€™t mean youโ€™re failing. It simply means youโ€™re healing.

You donโ€™t have to navigate the journey alone. At MIFWA Psychology, we offer a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space to help you work through lifeโ€™s challenges at your own pace.

If youโ€™re ready to take the first step, our psychologist is here to support you.

Caring for a family member or friend experiencing mental health challenges can come with its own set of challenges. Sometimes, connecting with people who understand what youโ€™re going through can make all the difference.

GROW Group for Carers, Families and Supporters comes in!

Join us every 1st & 3rd Wednesday of the month for a welcoming, confidential space where you can:

- Connect with others who understand the caring journey.
- Explore ways to navigate challenges and look after your own wellbeing.
- Gain knowledge, understanding and practical insights through shared experiences.
- Find encouragement and support in a group where your experiences matter.

The best part? Itโ€™s free to attend, and thereโ€™s no need to RSVP or have a referral.

You simply come along!

What is a carer? Am I a carer?

A carer is someone who provides unpaid care and support to family members or friends with disability, mental health challenges, a long-term chronic or terminal health condition, an alcohol or other drug dependency, or who is frail aged.

Carers can be any age, from children as young as 8 to people in their 20s. People become carers in different ways and for different reasons.

Every caring situation is unique but can include helping the family member or friend with grocery shopping, personal care (e.g., feeding, bathing and dressing), transportation, banking, housework, preparing meals and administering medicine.

Some carers provide 24-hr support with high care needs. Others support someone who is mostly independent but needs help with some tasks.

Carers also provide emotional support, comfort and encouragement.

At MIFWA, we our Carer Support team supports carers who are supporting their family members or friends experiencing mental health challenges.

Our Carer Support FAQs page answers common questions about how we can support you, including:

- Who can access carer support from MIFWA?

- Does your loved one have to have a formal diagnosis of a mental health condition for you to receive our support?

- Does your loved one need to live with you for you?

- Do you need to be receiving a Centrelink Payment (such as a Carer Payment)?

- Whether MIFWA supports carers who care for someone under the age of 16 years.

You donโ€™t have to navigate your caring role alone. Find out more about how MIFWA can support you.

Marisha, Robyn and Sam from our Carer Support team represented MIFWA at the Carers WA Conference held at Optus Stadium on Thursday 8 October.

Leading into National Carers Week, the conference brought people together to connect, share lived experiences and hear from carers, sector professionals and inspiring speakers.

This year, Carers WA also celebrates 30 years of supporting carers across WA, so the event highlighted how important it is to listen to carers, learn from their experiences and work with them to address the issues that matter most to them.

Because carers matter. You matter.

And that's why we're here to support you: mifwa.org.au/our-services/carer-support/
