A group of our former Young Adult Carers who have been part of our Young Adult Carers Operational Group have identified the need for ongoing peer support for Carers over the age of 25. In addition, each member of the group has cared for a family member for several years and knows what it’s like to be in a similar situation to you. What is our aim? We are a peer support group helping each other through our individual caring roles. This group is for Carers who would like the opportunity to meet other Carers of a similar age and with similar interests. We will try our best to signpost people to outside services if needed. Our aim is to support each other, doing everyday things, like making new friends and connecting to the world outside of the caring role. If you are 25 to 35, living in Torbay, caring or helping to care for someone and would like to have some time out from your unpaid caring role, then this may be the group for you. Interested? For more information contact your Carers Support Worker, or call Signposts for Carers on: (01803) 666620 or check out our web page at: tsdft.takota@nhs.net to find our referral form and refer yourself into the group.
