Looking after yourself and others training The North Tyneside Carers Centre has developed a training course which is designed to help people with learning disabilities in their own role as carers. A maximum of five people are identified for each training course. They are then visited at home and the purpose of the course explained to them and their families or carer. The training consists of 5 weekly session: Session 1 To define the term carer and to distinguish between formal and informal care. Session 2 To determine he sort of task that a carer might do, and how being a carer can affect a person life. Session 3 To determine the most common accidents/emergencies one might come across as a carer, what causes them and what to do. Session 4 To identify the stresses and strains of caring, how we feel when under stress. Session 5 To identify the sources of help for carer in a variety of situations. Literacy skills are not a requirement as all the exercises are interactive, using pictures, drawings, relaxation exercises, ‘spot the danger’ pictures and lots of discussion. Contact:
