- Coping with the emotional impact of changes in the person you care for
- Taking responsibility for a loved one’s financial and business affairs and making decisions about their care and well being
- Lack of time to yourself and constant worry which makes you stressed
Workshops are FREE to family carers and help is available with arranging and paying for respite and with the cost of travel and parking.
