10th December 21

Do you care for a relative or friend with mental health challenges?

Heart & Soul at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust (CPFT), is hosting a new online meeting space for carers, where you can take part in gentle conversation and mutual support.

The space is also ideal for carers that have come through hard times and want to share their experience and wisdom with other carers.
