Cygnet Newham House celebrate Equality for Carers
The team at Cygnet Newham House held a carers event yesterday with a focus on ‘Equality for Carers’.
Attending were local carer group Carers Together, advocacy provider Advent Advocacy, as well as a local solicitor to support the carers with mental health law and the Mental Capacity Act. The Multi-disciplinary team provided the carers with mental and physical health advice, including on the menopause. There was also some psychological support about understanding their relatives ‘new me’.
The arrival of an ice cream van was a welcome surprise in the hot weather for the carers, patients and staff!
