Setting Up a Peer-Support Group
There is one word we hear frequently when we ask what members of our network are looking for; Recognition.
Sharing your thoughts, feelings and experiences with other people who are going through something similar can be powerful and can motivate you to use your skills or experiences to be creative and make a difference in your local community.
The idea of creating your own support group can be daunting, especially if you already have a full-time job, family and caring responsibilities. However, it can provide a release and a purpose which can improve your sense of well-being and help others.
This session gives examples from carers who have done it themselves and includes how to get started, format, structure, benefits, challenges and top tips.
