Though Juggling Care and Catching the Smiles can't take away all the hard work involved in caring, it helps you lighten your load as you make plans of your own choosing. Here are some of the things carers who have used Juggling Care and Catching the Smiles have said:

• I no longer feel trapped – I’m enjoying the challenge of finding solutions to difficulties
• My relationship with my caree has become calmer and less emotionally driven
• My time is now much better valued by myself and by others
• I have more energy knowing what needs to happen and how to do it
• I now have helpers who I think are as capable as me – I feel less isolated
• I have greater well-being from having more ‘me time’
• I feel more confident about balancing caring with other commitments
• Having time to ‘sparkle’ without feeling guilty has strengthened my caring qualities

Using carefully chosen questions, coaching helps you transform the areas of your situation where you know that things are 'not as you would like' into your knowing 'what you would like, and how to do it well'. At the heart of coaching's success is the belief that you're the person who'll know what's best for your situation. For this reason, though much information is provided in this course to widen your outlook, it's not intended as advice for your particular situation.

Carers who use Juggling Care and Catching the Smiles' coaching-based approach know that they'll have the final say about what they choose as they go forward. Knowing this helps them feel comfortable exploring all the possibilities they discover through the exercises included.

No previous experience is required. All that's needed is curiosity, and the desire and commitment to make your current or potential caring situation as good as you can.

The Online Learning requires Internet access and it provides downloadable material in the Resources Areas (in between each session) that you may wish to print off. Whilst you will need a computer or laptop for some of it, many people also choose to watch parts of it on a tablet or smartphone too.

The exercises and examples are designed to help you get the best results if you complete them in the order they appear. But you'll still benefit if a shortage of time means you need to skim over some. You don't have to do everything all at once – you can easily revisit sessions when you’d like.

Knowing that carers often have limited amounts of time, each session is short, which makes them easy to watch in between other calls on your time. In total, the videos for the whole course (Parts One – Four) last 3 hours and 45 minutes and different people spend differing amounts of time on the exercises and examples. You're the person who chooses the pace you set.

The choice is yours! You can work through Juggling Care and Catching the Smiles by yourself at your own pace or ... combine with one or more carers to encourage one another as you each work through your own copy of the course in between meeting up (on ZOOM/ Skype etc or in person) from time to time.

Carers who have used this Online Learning have said they found it helpful to have a large notebook to hand, along with plenty of paper, pens, pencils and a file, box or bag to keep everything in. Bear in mind though that everyone has different preferences, so choose what suits you best to make your working through Juggling Care and Catching the Smiles as enjoyable as you'd like.

Our aim is to provide you with a great opportunity to make your caring situation the best you can and, with commitment on your part, we hope your feedback will be as positive as the comments on our Testimonials page.
