FINDING BALANCE AND MANAGING OUR EMOTIONS - A CIT CARERSKILLS COURSE FOR FAMILY CARERS*
Carers get very used to putting others ahead of themselves. They often look after others and lose sight of their own needs and then wonder why they have so little energy, have trouble remembering things and why their life seems so lacking in pleasure and joy.
This CIT Skills for Carers course, in partnership with West Belconnen Child and Family Centre, will be an enjoyable opportunity for family carers to come together and consider:
* Why it is so important to acknowledge our own needs and respond by nurturing ourselves in encouraging and healthy ways
* How our emotions affect us and how we can use them to improve the quality of our life
* The key connection between cherishing ourselves and having healthy relationships, better health and a happier self.
* Finding a balance between caring for ourselves and others without feeling guilty or overwhelmed.
Facilitator: Carol Guy is a registered nurse with qualifications in Mental Health and group leadership.
Date: Thursdays 7, 14, 21, 28 May
Time: 10am-12 noon
Venue: West Belconnen Child and Family Centre, Luke St Holt
To Register: 6207 3628 or CarerSkills@cit.edu.au<mailto:CarerSkills@cit.edu.au>
