Dear Us
Need urgent help?

Programmes

Small, structured, and honest about their limits. Every cohort is confirmed only once at least ten paying participants have enrolled — if a cohort is cancelled, you receive a full refund.

The Caregiver Companion

For: Family members and friends supporting someone with a mental-health condition

What you'll leave with

  • Language for supportive, non-judgemental conversation
  • Understanding boundaries: what caregivers can and cannot do
  • Recognising when professional help is needed, and how to encourage it
  • Caring for your own wellbeing while caring for another
  • A personal support plan for your situation

Honest boundaries

  • This is an educational programme, not therapy or medical training
  • Programme discussions are never recorded
  • Facilitators cannot advise on individual diagnoses or medication

The Lived-Experience Circle

For: Adults with lived experience of mental-health challenges who want structure and community

What you'll leave with

  • Telling your story safely — to yourself first, then to others
  • Building routines that hold on difficult days
  • Navigating work, family, and stigma
  • Connecting with a small, moderated peer group

Honest boundaries

  • This is a peer-learning circle, not group therapy
  • We do not provide crisis support; see our safety page for urgent-help contacts
  • Participation is for adults (18+) only

Programmes are educational, not clinical. Dear Us does not provide diagnosis, treatment, or crisis support. If you or someone you love needs urgent help, see our safety page.
