Carer wellbeing courses available in April 2020
Coastal Wellbeing are offering free Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) courses starting in April 2020. The six week courses will be in Eastbourne and Newhaven and are free of charge and open to any unpaid carer living in East Sussex.
Caring for someone can leave little time for thinking about self-care, let alone doing it. Self-care is often at the bottom of the list for carers, a luxury to be fitted in only if there is time, which so often there isn’t.
So how do we look after our own wellbeing?
Lucy and Molly from Coastal Wellbeing say: “From our experience and learning from the many carers we have met, it’s about claiming moments when we can, learning to say no to some things and yes to others, asking for help when we need it and knowing that we are not alone.”
“These are some of the things we talk about on the WRAP course. In a safe, supportive, relaxed space with other carers, there is time to explore what wellness tools work best for you. WRAP is about focusing on you and putting your wellbeing at the top of the list.”
This is what carers who have attended the WRAP courses say.
