Care ● Compassion ● Community
• Half of caregivers rated objectives to have been fully met. but with
noted improvement which could be made in supporting carers to
explore ways to look after themselves and ways to achieve this.
• Carers found a range of elements most helpful in attending the
programme: shared experiences, group discussions, feeling
accepted and seen for doing their best.
• Carers noted two main factors to be least helpful in attending the
group: lack of time to go through all notes and group facilitated
virtually. In this question Carer's also noted they did not find
anything "least helpful" and felt they connected with others which
at times reduced time for theory to be discussed more.
• When asked if they had any further comments they wished to share,
Carer's noted: they felt empowered, enjoyed making peer
connections and having the opportunity to share experiences, they
would recommend all Carer's to complete this groupwork
programme and they were thankful for follow-up support and
being understood within the group.
