This could be caring for a relative, parent, child, partner or friend
who is frail, has a physical or mental illness, disability or problem
with drugs or alcohol)
Aim: To enable carers to
improve the way that they meet their own needs in a healthy way, to
give the energy they would like to manage both their caring role and
their own life.

Approach: In a positive
atmosphere with easy conversation the morning will be facilitated
using the human givens approach to look at how to: identify personal
needs, effectively use one’s own innate resources to meet these
needs and to develop the skills to enhance the carers life. This will be a fun way of carers building on their own strengths and
those of others around them and will include a relaxation session.
