Welcome again to another one of my carer blog posts. On this particular post I am going to talk about networking with carers. When I talk about carers, I am talking about unpaid carers, I am not mentioned care workers who work for a care agency. Care workers are paid and have clients, carers are unpaid and care for someone they are related to or emotionally attached or at least know.

Why we care – in the family
Welcome back to my first blog post for July, I want to focus this post on why people care in the family or why I think people care due to my own perspective. This blog post will focus on caring in the family. Now I have been a carer for my close relatives for over 16 years and I think I have picked up a few words of wisdom along the way.
Telling our carers story
If you are a carer or have been caring for someone for a while. It is important to acknowledge that you have been through some pretty difficult times. Yes, of course there has been some good times, times where carers can celebrate what they have done for those they care for. There has also been times when the ‘cared for’ should be congratulated for moving forward with their recovery, however we must admit that there have been things in the past that require special attention.
The A to Z of Carers
Hope you like reading my blog posts and if this is the first time you have managed to visit, welcome. It has been a while since I did a post about carers and I just recently made a video regarding the world of carers or perhaps what we could call mental health carers, those being carers who look after someone suffering mental distress or worse a severe mental health condition.
Top 10 things that carers should like
Hello everyone to welcome another blog post for February. I usually do carer awareness videos and mental health videos. You can check out my blog site, which has more information about mental health and carer awareness information.

The importance of Carer Centres
Hi everyone. Welcome to another one of my carer videos. Although my videos are mainly there to raise awareness of mental health and mental health carers, I hope all who view them find such videos educational. As a note, a carer is someone unpaid who is caring for a relative, friend or neighbour. Carers usually care for someone who is unable to care for themselves and they do not have to suffer old age difficulties.
Carers rights day 2016
Welcome to another blog post by Matthew Mckenzie, a carer over in the south of London. Around late November 2016, I did a video to help promote “Carers Rights day”. I have also been meaning to write up about the video in my blogsite, but never had gotten around to it. I must admit that I have been rather busy, mainly raising awareness of carers.
Carers and The Lonely Path
Hello again, it’s has been a while since I blogged and I just think it is time to write up another post. This site is here to raise awareness of carers and mental health. I am not an expert in mental health problems, but I am a carer of someone using the services and I feel that it is so important to raise awareness of carers. Unfortunately carers are not all alike.
Movies about the Caring role
Welcome back to another blog post by mental health carer Matthew Mckenzie. It has been a while since I last wrote about mental health & Caring, this is due to my role as a carer. I have been busy working on videos and for this particular blog I will attach the video later down the post.
Volunteering as a carer
Welcome to another blog post from mental health carer in South London Matthew Mckenzie. Now as you can guess from my blogsite, I keep myself fairly busy, even though I am carrying out support and care for a loved one. Throughout my years of experience as a mental health carer, I know there are many things I can share in order to help others. Most of the time I give my views at meetings, focus groups or committees. So if there is a way I can help, I will certainly give it a try.
