Carer Support Group (Townsville)

Join us for a chat, a cuppa, and some much-needed support at our Carer Support Group.

Caring for someone can place ongoing demands on your time, energy, and wellbeing. Meeting face-to-face allows carers to connect regularly with the same group of people, helping build trust, shared understanding, and meaningful peer connections over time.

Across the 8 weeks, sessions will focus on:

• Managing stress and emotional overload
• Effective communication – expressing needs, setting boundaries, and being heard
• Recharge and reconnect – practical ways to restore energy and resilience
• Sleep and rest – improving sleep habits and managing fatigue
• Strengthening social connections and reducing isolation
  

Each session includes guided discussion, gentle reflection, practical strategies, and opportunities to share experiences with other carers. Participation is flexible — you can listen, share, or simply take what you need from each session. You don’t need to have all the answers. This is a space to pause, connect, learn, and feel supported.

Sessions will be held weekly from 10am - 12pm on Tuesdays starting from March 10th, 2026. Carers are encouraged to attend all sessions to get the most out of the experience. Light refreshments will be available - please provide details of any food allegies or other special dietary requirements with your RSVP.
