Your Place to be
Carers Support, Creative Health, Mental Health, WellbeingFirst Monday of the month – 1:00pm-2:30pm
Your Place to Be is a monthly group for those who are caring for someone.
If you are supporting someone with mental health difficulties, physical care needs, Alzheimer’s, dementia, or a child who is neurodiverse, it’s important to take care of yourself. Whether it’s a family member or friend, you live with them or they live far away, helping someone who isn’t feeling their best is hard. You need support too.
Alongside some creative activities to relax and ground you, this group will also provide resources to help with burnout, stress and practising self-care.
A chance for you to reset, recharge and refill your own cup which will help you feel more able to support others.
