As carers of people with mental health challenges, it can be difficult for us to advocate for the rights and needs of those we care for, and our own. Mental health carers feel more empowered and confident when they know WHY and HOW to advocate and self-advocate effectively.

So join us on Wed 25 March for our Carers & Advocacy workshop with guest speaker Glenda Marshall (Carer Advocate, HelpingMinds) where we'll discuss:

- Who is a mental health carer and what are their challenges?
- Carer Rights, the Mental Health Act and other legislations
- What can I expect from an independent Carer Advocate?
- How can I self-advocate for my loved one?

🗓 Wed 25 March 2026, 6pm–8pm
📍Online, FREE for family carers

Registration is essential to receive the link.

Today is International Women’s Day. This year’s theme, Balance the Scales, is a promise that every woman and girl — regardless of background or identity — deserves to be safe, heard, and free to shape her own life.

At MIFWA, we support this commitment by fostering a culture where women feel safe to speak up, ask for help, and know their voices are heard, valued and respected. We also celebrate our incredible team members for helping us create a warm and inclusive space where women feel safe and supported. 🌻
