Make regular contact with carers who have registered for our Telephone Support Service either by telephone, email or text, allowing for early intervention with difficult situations to ensure carers are less likely to reach crisis point. Give carers the opportunity to take a break from their caring role and the confidence to meet others through events, groups, and breaks. Ensure carers are given support and help to maintain and improve their mental health and emotional wellbeing Offer immediate referral for fully funded counselling by qualified counsellors. Support the full life cycle of a carer by continuing to support Life After Carers who find they have lost their identity, no longer being a carer, and are grieving after loss.
