Nurturing your Support Network – Looking After You

Hi Reader

How are you?

The theme for this year’s Carers Week is ‘Building Carer Friendly Communities’. It took me years to find the support I needed, so what can you do now to ensure you have the right support around you?

  1. Register with your local GP – let them know you are in a caring role, so you are on their system.
  2. Get in touch with Social Services to have a Carers Assessment, to find out what is available for you.
  3. Register with your Carers Centre – they will have lots of support, including meet ups and workshops.

Also, join me for an online talk this Thursday, 11th, 3-4pm, with Carers UK, with ‘What I wish I’d known as a Carer’.
I will be sharing personal experiences of where I went wrong and how I overcame. Click here to register and I look forward to seeing you.

Enjoy Carers Week and look after you!

Lots of love,
