Our Carers drop-in sessions are designed for current Carers that care for those who have life limiting or shortening conditions.
These weekly sessions are opportunities to explore the challenges of caregiving in a supportive community. They are available to attend either face to face at the Hospice in Brentry or online. Drop-in sessions are 1.5 hours long.
Sessions
These are stand-alone sessions, so you can choose to attend just one session or as many as you would like. The sessions will give space to talk about:
- The emotional impact of caregiving
- Changes in relationships
- Stresses of caregiving
- Long term effects and the future
- Caregiving burnout
And we will consider how you might support yourself.
- Maintain energy and resilience
- Build community connections
