Carer Support & Training

(CST)

Have you suddenly been thrust into the role of caring for a brain injured person?  Caring can be a lifelong task and this role is saving the government billions of pounds every year.  In order for a carer to be able to do this very important and exhausting job, it is important that you:-

  • Understand the effects of a brain injury
  • Arrange 'time out' from the person you care for
  • Look after your own health
  • Get support from others and not try to cope alone

Headway West Midlands Carers Support & Training services are designed to meet the specific needs of Carers in order to help address the above issues and make the role of caring manageable and rewarding.

 

Working in partnership with carers to ensure that these services meet their needs is a guiding principle in the work of CST services.

Current activities include:-

· Carer Support Groups where carers meet regularly to build friendships, share information and offer mutual support.   Young Carers support groups

· Training on areas of particular interest to carers e.g. ‘Understanding brain injury’, ‘Coping with challenging  behaviour’ etc

· Courses leading to qualification     e.g. First Steps in Computing for Carers,  Personal Development & Learning for Unpaid Carers

· Healthy Living Events/Awareness aimed at relieving stress and developing good physical, emotional and psychological well being.

· Social events where carers can come  together informally to share friendship and have some ‘time out’.

· User Forum where carers can have their say about the organisation and the services they would like

Current information and Events dates can be found on our Notice Board in the Events section or obtained via our Enquiry Line 0121-457-7541

If you are interested in one of the above but there is no current event - please let us know and we will do our best to arrange one
