HOPE PROGRAMME FOR CARERS
CARING TOGETHER
My life as a carer had become increasingly difficult and I was struggling to cope.
A carers lead from the mental health trust suggested I step back and try the Caring Together online Hope Programme.
I realised that I needed to do something to rediscover myself so I set myself the goal of making a dress.
Each week I shared my progress from cutting out the paper pattern and buying the material to finishing the hem and wearing the dress to the online coffee morning!
The course helped me become more resilient and better able to manage the physical and emotional challenge of caring for someone I love.
