Caring with Confidence

Crossroads Care Cambridgeshire are delighted to announce they will provide the Caring with Confidence programme in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

Caring with Confidence, a free Department of Health backed knowledge and skills based learning experience, was launched in the East of England – with the aim of helping carers make a positive difference to their life and that of the person they care for.

“The new programme will be free to carers, giving them a safe and supportive environment to explore the services available to them, look at the essentials of looking after someone and how to communicate effectively with other people to help support their needs - which will improve their own health and wellbeing and that of the person they care for.

“The programme will allow those people who find themselves in a caring role the opportunity to meet other people in a similar situation, learn more about the condition they are dealing with and improve their ability to get exactly what they need from the health professionals and services available to them.”

Caring with Confidence is part of the Government’s New Deal for Carers and the National Carers Strategy. It is aimed at helping carers build on their knowledge and strengths, sharing useful information and identifying the positive changes they can make in their own situations.
