Services - Stress Management

Stress Management

There is no doubt that caring can be exhausting. Devoting your time to caring for someone with an illness or disability can have a significant effect on your physical and emotional capacity. When you are emotionally exhausted, it is often difficult to focus on your own needs. Looking after all aspects of your own health is crucial to being able to continue caring.

We offer carers the opportunity to learn how to use techniques to relax, reduce stress and calm emotions. This is known as self management and the benefits can be much longer-lasting as it gives you the skills and knowledge to use whenever you need to. The Stress Management Programme includes:

• “Steps to Deal with Stress” CD
• Yoga (Thursdays via Zoom)
• CBT with Kathryn (please contact Joanne on 0141 941 1550 or email joanne@carerswd.org for more info)
