Steps of Caring (North Lanarkshire Minority Ethnic Carers) (2 Weeks Course)

Steps of Caring is specifically designed to support carers, either new to Lanarkshire Carers or new to their caring role. We understand that caring can be a daunting and overwhelming experience (particularly in the early stages of caring); therefore, we have developed Steps of Caring as a guide to support you at a time when you need it most.

We understand it can be difficult to access the right support and information when you don’t know where to turn, which may feel isolating and worrisome. Steps of Caring will help connect you to local communities and services that may be able to assist you in navigating and sustaining your caring role, whilst relieving you of additional stress and pressure.

As a carer from the minority ethnic community in the North Lanarkshire area, this session will help guide you build your support network as well as finding out more information about Lanarkshire Carers and the services we provide. Throughout this informal relaxed session, you will also have an opportunity to meet other carers in similar situations, which may also increase your peer support network within your community. Our sessions are facilitated by our Carer Support Workers who offer their expertise and knowledge within your local area in a warm, welcoming environment. Light refreshments will also be provided. 

Delivered as part of the Lanarkshire Carers Equality and Diversity Service, this course is open to Carers from Minority Ethnic communities in North Lanarkshire. Urdu and Arabic interpretation will be available to ensure carers who speak Urdu and Arabic can fully participate. If you are interested in attending, please contact us to have a conversation and book a place.
