“Care2” is a collection of online, fully funded courses designed specifically for unpaid caregivers; the aim is to give these learners an educational opportunity to do something specifically for themselves, outside of caregiving. As such, courses will focus around a wide range of diverse and interesting topics, such as history, wellbeing & literature.
These courses are open to anyone over the age of 19 who regularly provides care to someone else; whether a family member, a spouse or a friend. We understand there are so many people who care for others, but will not be able to formally identify as carers. Don’t worry- we do not check for proof of caring responsibilities.
Learners who do the courses tell them they are a lifeline and, for some, it is the best part of their day. Their learners report improved mental wellbeing, reduced feelings of loneliness and discover a new passion they may wish to pursue either professionally or in their own time.
It’s important to take time out for yourself. From literature to stress awareness, see what’s on offer today: thewea.info/caregivers
