Re: [CHAT] The sickness
Also - sort of related to the last question...
8. What about if you are caring for someone with an illness, where might you go for support?

Re: [CHAT] The sickness
There is often support groups for family and loved ones of those with a chronic illness. There can be camps for kids, weekly support groups

Re: [CHAT] The sickness
I'm pretty sure that SANE has a carer forum for people supporting someone with a mental illness.
Blueboard is also one for carers of people with depression
http://www.blueboard.anu.edu.au
Not sure if we have any people who are full time carers on the forum tonight? I'm sure they would have some more ideas. But of course friends and family are always great supports for anyone. And psychologists - sometimes carers need someone to chat to, too!
