Mind - Information available to carers

Through accessing the Mind charity Information and Support page and then the Helping Someone Else webpage, there are a number of different pages of information focused on various types of mental health problems. There are also pages that offer support in terms of money and benefits, as well as advice on how to look after yourself. This information is also available to download in a PDF document as well ordering a print copy through their mailing system.

These pages of information will be the main source for gathering the content that will inform a piece of creative produced in response to the identified problem. This also allows for the opportunity to relate the creative to the charity. Although this would mean following a similar tone of voice/attitude that the charity brand themselves through there are a number of positives to explore.

Through completing the FutureLearn course, my knowledge and understanding of caring for individuals with psychosis and schizophrenia is more developed than my knowledge other mental health problems. This has informed the decision to focus on Schizophrenia as well as general care and advice for a carer.
