This online course is suitable for any unpaid carer and learners of all levels. It will enable carers to understand and recognise that it is important to look after their own health and wellbeing.
This course will teach carers how to have the energy and strength required for their caring role and that keeping themselves well means they are better placed to carry out their caring role.
It is just as important that carers feel confident and emotionally able to look after someone. This course will focus on offering practical solutions that will help to meet carers problems or challenges.
The first three modules for course one are free to access. Once logged in you will automatically have access to course 1 modules 1, 2, 3. If you wish to continue and complete all modules for course one a payment of £45 will need to be made.
