Establishing carer support groups

Home / Courses / Establishing carer support groups
Online learning

The course is designed for health professionals and volunteers who see an opportunity in starting a carer support group. The course will equip the facilitator with the knowledge and skills to establish, lead and sustain a carer support group.

While this course has been developed using dementia carer support groups as an example, the principles and resources are transferable to other types of carer support groups; for example, chronic illness.
