How to Enjoy More 'You Time' as a Carer helps you gain a good overview of your situation so you can decide what’s important when you consider how to use your time and energy. It also encourages you to explore new Covid-safe ways of including others in sharing what needs doing so that, alongside finding more enjoyment, you’re able to do things that promote your well-being.

RESOURCES AREA: 

The pandemic has significantly changed the lives of carers. Many support organisations cancelled certain activities and, to reduce the risk of infection, some visits by care workers and friends stopped. In this way, much of what previously gave carers short breaks disappeared. Now, more than ever, carers benefit from knowing how to arrange things well so as to enjoy the time they spend with their carees and by themselves.

As well as this session’s download, we've put together a collection of indoor activities that help with having enjoyable things to look forward to. So, if after completing the exercise below, you'd like some extra inspiration for things to do, this can be found at https://www.jugglingcare.com/p/activities.

The notes below can be printed off for your personal use in conjunction with viewing the video. above, and provide a starting point for reminding you of what's been covered in this session. Throughout this online learning, write or draw on your printed copies as much as you would like, in whatever way helps you best.
