Free course to boost carers' confidence

If you are looking after a friend or relative, Caring with Confidence can help you to make a positive difference to your life and that of the person you care for.

Starting on Friday 14 May, Caring with Confidence is aimed at improving support for carers aged 18 and over.  It is free to sign up to and take part in the course, which is funded by the Department of Health.

 

Choose sessions to suit you

The Caring with Confidence course is made up of seven sessions.  The introductory session, Finding Your Way, will help you look at what issues matter most to you and decide which other sessions you would like to go to.  You can then choose to do one or more of the following sessions:

  • Caring and Coping
  • Caring and Me
  • Caring Day to Day
  • Caring and Resources
  • Caring and Life
  • Caring and Communicating


The sessions run from 10 am until 1 pm and will be held every other week starting on Friday 14 May 2010. Sessions will be held in the People's Centre on Raby Road, Hartlepool.

Tracy and Ian from the Stroke Association will be running the sessions, which are open to all carers and are not specifically for stroke-related issues.
