What Carers Say About Caring with Confidence

• “I feel so much more positive and confident and there is help out there for me.”
• “Even though I have been a carer for many years and involved with social services, coming to these sessions made me feel I was at last being recognised and acknowledged, and this was so important to me.”
• “The sessions gave me the courage to acknowledge that it is okay to think about myself and that I have a right to a life outside caring.”
• ”Caring with Confidence has changed my life.”
• “I am in a better position to realise that when I find things difficult, that is quite normal.”
• “ [the session] made us realise that we have to be responsible for own health.  If we are ill who looks after the person being cared for?”
• “[the session] gave me additional skills to help me communicate more effectively. I have found that being persistent paid off when dealing with my mother’s home support agency.”
• “Definitely a must!”  
• “Plenty of information given.”
• “I will surely recommend to other carers.”
• “You’ll get to know/find out great, helpful information.”
