Workshops for Carers

We have LOADS of workshops for carers coming up in the next few months. We have some which are all about keeping you the carer in good health and we have some about helping you understand the condition affecting the person you're caring for and how you can help them stay as healthy as possible. They are free to attend and you can book a place on any of them by calling Fife Carers Centre on 01592 642999.

Caring with Confidence

One of the things that carers often tell us is that they welcome the chance to learn more about how to deal with the illness or disability of the person they care for. With this in mind, last year we ran a pilot series of workshops in West Fife and are now ready to run more courses across Fife. All of the workshops begin at 10 am and finish at around 2.30pm with a light lunch included. The workshops are free for carers to attend and to book your place you simply need to call Fife Carers Centre on 01592 642999.

The courses in Dunfermline and the West CHP Area will all be held at the City Hotel in Dunfermline, the topics and dates are:
Caring for someone with Diabetes – 4th November 2009
Caring for someone with Heart Disease – 2nd December 2009

These workshops are really good - I went to one of the Dunfermline ones and I found out some stuff I didn't know but the best bit was meeting up with some other carers who had experiences the same kind of things as me and we could talk about it. I realised I wasn't the only person trying to cope with everything. I still stay in touch with a couple of the women I met.
