Carer Training Programme
It’s important to look after your own health and wellbeing, as well as the person you care for. Lanarkshire Carers provide a range of services that can assist carers to address their individual support needs and help them achieve personal outcomes.
Lanarkshire Carers Carer Training Programme covers a range of topics and the courses featured in our programmes are released every three months. These are opportunities to achieve your personal outcomes, take a break from your caring role, meet other carers and make new connections for peer and community support.
The programme is based on the need and demand from carers, with courses identified and sourced through carers’ needs identified during conversations and via carer feedback and pilot sessions hosted to gauge interest. Sessions are delivered in various locations across Lanarkshire, we also offer online sessions to ensure accessibility for all carers.
Please remember you can always contact us to talk about your carer training needs/ideas and to discuss how this might help support you in your caring role.
Lanarkshire Carers is committed to ensuring carers are confident in their caring role and would like to provide information and training that is appropriate to your needs.
Your ideas and suggestions are important to us and will enable us to plan future Carer Training programmes best suited to carers’ needs.

Events
At Lanarkshire Carers, we try our very best to ensure that carers get access to as much information and training opportunities as possible to help them in their caring role.
We provide free of charge training courses to ensure that no carer will ever be unable to attend due to financial reasons. However, there is a cost to us and for some courses it can be considerable.
We understand that as carers, something can arise which would prevent you from attending a pre-registered course. If you are unable to attend please contact us as soon as possible. Many of these courses have a waiting list and unless we know, we are unable to offer your place to someone else.
