Nearing the end of life programme
Caring with Confidence has a bespoke programme for carers of someone nearing the end of life. This programme is delivered in face-to-face groups and there are eight sessions you can choose from depending on your situation - five are aimed at carers of people nearing the end of life and three for when the person you care for has passed away. To get started, sign up to one of the two Finding Your Way sessions and then choose to do one or more of the other sessions.
