Carer Champion Workshop (online): Being a carer listener

Join this workshop to find out how you could become a carer champion for carers who are making the transition from fostering to Shared Lives

Our Shared Lives carer champions have been working hard behind the scenes with our volunteer coordinator, Abi Reese, to create a new volunteer role that will make a difference to you as a Shared Lives carer. We've decided on six key areas where we think our carer champions can have the most impact.As carer champion you'll be part of a team that work across all of our Shared Lives services (that's Greater Manchester, Merseyside, Norfolk, Suffolk, North Yorkshire, Staffordshire and Lincolnshire). You'll help other carers learn and improve on their skills, you'll share best practice and make carers feel part of a team. Join this session to learn more about being a carer listener, who'll be trained by the Samaritans to listen to carers who need a listening ear. For this role you'll:<ul><li>Be trained to be a listener (like in fostering, Samaritans offer this training for free)</li><li>Be someone for carers to be able to phone and have a chat about how the day has gone.</li><li>Be someone to seek some advice from or may have been through similar situations.</li></ul>
