Our Carers Peer Support Group is relaunching it's face-to-face sessions and is inviting all CHFT colleagues who have unpaid caring responsibilities outside of work to join. The sessions are opportunities for people to come together and receive support from fellow colleagues who are going through similar experiences. It's a chance to check in on one another and talk about how you are doing.

In the past, the meetings have also had guest speakers from Carers Count to talk about topics such as care home funding and your right as a carer.

A member of the group said: "Being an unpaid carer can be very challenging in terms of trying to balance both work and care responsibilities. The CHFT Carers Peer Support Group has been a great support during some very difficult times.”

The group meetings are held monthly either via Microsoft Teams or face-to-face. The next meeting will be held face-to-face on Monday, 1st July between 12:00 and 13:00 in Forum Room 1A, HRI Learning Centre. No need to book, just drop in if you can.
