If you are an unwaged carer recovering from Covid-19 or supporting someone recovering from Covid-19, there is a weekly peer support group that can provide you with help and support.
The peer support group
- Brings carers together with shared experiences to support each other
- Provides carers with a safe and confidential space where you will feel accepted and understood
- Treat everyone’s experiences as being equally important
- Involves both giving and receiving support and top tips
- Helps inform health and social care services about what support and services are needed for unwaged carers living with the long-term effects of Covid-19
The peer group meets online via Zoom on a Monday lunchtime from 12.30pm-1.30pm, you can also join the group by telephone.
Expenses are available to support people to join the carers peer support group by using their mobile phone or using a laptop.
The carers support group is open to carers living in Greater Manchester (Manchester, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan).
