Caring Well Thinking Well Programme

Caring for someone who has a palliative illness is very difficult.  We want you to know you don’t have to face this alone. This three-week group programme is designed to help you connect with a group of people who know exactly how you feel and who understand what you are going through.  Initially, they may be strangers, but you'll be surprised how sharing an experience, a problem or just having a good old chat with a fellow carer can make a world of difference to helping you cope.  With any group, no matter how tough the topic, there will be a few laughs along the way! What this group offers

• The opportunity to meet others over a cuppa in a relaxed environment (we won’t ask you to do anything you’re not comfortable with
• Time and support for you to think about what really matters both now and, in the future.
• Encouraging the use of relaxation and mindfulness techniques.
• Helpful Information about the illness you are dealing with and what to expect.
• Signposting you to other services and resources.
• Support from our team.
