Living Mindfully: Caring for the Carer
A 1-day workshop focusing on your health and wellbeing
Living with and caring for someone who has a serious illness, chronic pain, mental health diagnosis or a psychological disorder can be distressing.
Ultimately, carers need to care for themselves so they can care for others. This one-day workshop, facilitated by Petrea King, focuses on self-care and the 3 keys to leading a more resilient life:
- Acceptance - learning to accept what has happened to us, which allows us to become an active participator in meeting the challenge.
- Response - moving beyond reacting out of despair to embracing the challenge before us.
- Forgiveness - the inner process by which we liberate ourselves from the consequences of feeling wounded in the past.
Leave this workshop with:
- The ability to manage the full range of emotions associated with being a carer
- Tools for self-care
- Motivated to implement strategies for self-care
- The ability to maintain hope, humour and optimism.
