Taking care of you
Carers in Hertfordshire aims to help carers take better care of themselves through breaks, leisure and learning opportunities and by ensuring they focus on their own health and wellbeing.
Supporting carers to look after their own physical and emotional wellbeing is very important to us.
Welcome to the Carers Development and Learning Service where we hope you will find a workshop or course tailored to your needs. To view the latest courses for December 2018 to March 2019 click on the following link List of Courses and Workshops for Carers (December 2018 onwards).
What is it? A series of FREE sessions covering all aspects of the caring role ranging from maximising your income as a carer to taking time to look after your own health and wellbeing. You can find out more about the course in our Caring with Confidence leaflet here. The Caring with Confidence courses have been well received by carers.
Having a break away from caring is vital for carers. Carers who have regular breaks are more likely to be able to care for longer and stay fitter and healthier.
Carers have told us how important it is to have a life of their own as well as caring for someone.
