Moving on Group for Former Carers
We have previously run Male Carers Support Group and Lone Carers (for those who have no family/friends support networks) and would consider running these again subject to demand.
WELLBEING
Sometimes people can feel low in mood or anxious in response to their life experiences or as a result of their caring responsibilities. We offer access to wellbeing support. The Wellbeing Service is for Carers who are experiencing common problems such as anxiety and depression. It is a partnership between the NHS, Sutton Carers Centre and other voluntary sector organisations.
Contact us if you would like more information.
IAPT
The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme supports the frontline NHS in implementing National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines for people suffering from depression and anxiety disorders.
It was created to offer patients a realistic and routine first-line treatment, combined where appropriate with medication which traditionally had been the only treatment available.

UPLIFT
We all go through low points at times in our lives and it is not unusual to experience symptoms related to stress, anxiety and depression.
Sutton Uplift is an integrated Primary Care Mental Health service accessible to anyone living in the borough of Sutton or registered with a Sutton GP who are 18 years and over. They support anyone who has a mental health or well-being need, whether this is due to emotional difficulties or life stressors. They also offer a service for people with a stable mental health diagnosis such as psychosis and Bipolar Affective Disorder.
Sutton Uplift is a partnership between the NHS and local voluntary sector organisations and launched on the 1st of July 2015.
With values based on empowerment and building resilience within the community they tailor support to the individual. The service has four key elements: The Referral Centre, Recovery Team, IAPT (Improving access to Psychological therapies) and Wellbeing.
Wellbeing is core to our service with Wellbeing Navigators working in collaboration with all elements within Sutton Uplift. The team includes a navigator designated specifically to work with Carers.
