Self Care for Carers
Support Groups
Essex Carers Support works in partnership with Action for Family Carers to deliver activities and groups specifically for carers.
You may find that friends and family who have not experienced being in a caring role themselves cannot always understand the demands and stresses of caring. If this is the case, it might help to reach out and connect with other carers in your position.
If you’re picturing a sombre meeting room full of miserable faces, think again! Carers support groups come in a wide range of styles and activities, from coffee and cake meet ups to outdoor adventures and free yoga classes!
