Carer Breaks |
||||
|
The Carers Centre has a Breaks Officer who will
undertake an assessment with you for funding for a Carers Break
Payment. The amount of funding is dependent upon your caring
role and not your financial situation and is NOT means tested.
The Breaks Fund can be used for any break you decide upon so long as it gives you a break from your normal day to day caring role. Carers can apply for a break payment each year.
Taking a break and asking
for help are all steps to positive mental wellbeing. It is important
to consider that feeling emotionally strong and in control will only
be achieved in small stages. Focus on one or two things that could
help you feel more positive about your emotions, then once you have
achieved them, take another step toward feeling emotionally well.
Recognise things that make you feel low in mood, and have a plan to
deal with them; again this may involve talking to someone else,
having a break or learning coping skills in situations you cannot
change.
