Welcome to another one of my ‘caringmind’ blog posts. My site and sometimes videos help to raise awareness of carers caring for those suffering mental health problems. When I mean carers, I do not mean care-workers. I am talking about unpaid carers, that being a friend, relative, those very close to the cared for.
Mental Health Month
Welcome back to my blogsite. As usual, a quick word. I raise awareness of mental health from a carer or caregiver perspective. Usually this channel is dedicated to carers, but there is always space for discussing mental health.
The video below is to help raise awareness of Mental Health Month, which takes place over in the states.
Mental Health Month occurs during the month of May and the theme for Mental Health Month is Risky Business.
Mental Health Carers Forum – April 2017
Welcome to the April 2017 Mental Health Carers forum updates.
The MH Carers forum usually takes place once a month from Carers Lewisham. The carers who attend the forum are those who are unpaid looking for someone suffer mental health, but the forum has a few important notes.
Bullying in schools & workplace
Welcome back to another blog post from Matthew Mckenzie a carer from South London. I have done another collaboration video on the subject of bullying, which is actually quite common in schools and in the workplace, although not just restricted to those two areas.
Living with someone with a mental health illness
What is it like to live with someone suffering from a mental illness? I felt it was about time to do a quick write up about the situation. This time I decided to collaborate with someone living through a mental illness in order to get their views.
The collaboration was from an experience mental health survivor Jessica Temple who has her own YouTube Channel.

We both did a video where I talk about my role as a carer and Jessica who is from the States talks about her experience as a Care Taker.
World Health Day 2017 – Depression
Welcome to another one of my mental health awareness blog posts. This blog is about World Health Day 2017. Basically on the 7th of April 2017, the World Health Organisation campaigns on health conditions. For 2017, the theme for World Health Day is Depression.
World Bipolar Day 2017
Welcome back to another blog post. This one is about World Bipolar Day, which takes place on the 30th of March each year.
Around 60 million people suffer from bipolar disorder around the world, so it is very important to help raise awareness of the condition.
Basically World Bipolar Day is a collaboration between the Asian Network of Bipolar Disorder (ANBD), the International Bipolar Foundation (IBPF), and the International Society for Bipolar Disorders (ISBD).
Mental Health Carers Forum – March 2017
Welcome to another blog post from a carer in south London. Just a quick update, one of the projects I am interesting in helping to run is to be involved and help chair carer forums. I am hoping to write a blog at a later date regarding the importance of carer forums, but for now, this blog post is an update from the Carers Lewisham Mental Health Carer forum.
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.
Seeking mental health support
Welcome to my Carers mental health website. This time I want to post about seeking mental health support. Recently I did a collaboration video with fellow YouTuber Just-Katie.
We both agreed to provide basic information on what you need to do if seeking mental health support not only as an adult, but also from a young person’s perspective.
