The Caring with Confidence programme started last
November in four locations in Hertfordshire and has met with
very good feedback from the 100 carers who have attended these
sessions so far. The new days and dates for upcoming
sessions are here -
please call for more details. |

Caring with Confidence
As a carer, how many times have you
made a statement such as ‘if only I had known how to.....’. There
is now a programme which will help you to gain knowledge and share your
experience in a practical way with other carers. The Caring with
Confidence Programme has been designed with the help of carers
to support all unpaid adult carers, from those who are new to their
caring role, right through to experienced carers who want to build on
their skills.
The programme is made up of 7
interactive group sessions which will be hosted by trained facilitators
from Carers in Hertfordshire, Crossroads Care and Age
Concern. They will cover a wide range of topics, which will
help you:
- Build on your strengths as a
carer
- Share experiences and learn
from others in similar situations
- Get useful information ideas
and tips about looking after someone
- Decide what you might like to
change about your caring role
The first session called ‘Finding
Your Way’, which gives an introduction to Caring with Confidence and an
opportunity to start exploring some of the essentials of caring.
It is preferable, but not imperative, that carers attend this first
session - some have found that they attend the other sessions and then
catch up with a 'Finding Your Way' session later on. |
