Carer Activation Project
Do you care for a family member or friend?
We are helping community members who provide unpaid care for a family member or friend with a disability, mental illness, chronic health issue, addiction, or older person with care needs with support. We are launching a new program Carer Activation Project, to support the carers within our community. This program aims to support carers by building thei skills, confidence and reconnect them on their journey to achieving their goals.
The Carer Activation Project (CAP) is here to support you on your wellness journey and build your capacity to explore employment and study opportunities with confidence.
The CAP is facilitated weekly over 7 weeks. During the project you will undertake weekly wellbeing sessions, gain access to leisure activities, expand your networks/supports, have access to Digital Training provided by the lead providers in Gippsland and have mentorship to create outstanding resumes, cover letters, and tackle interviews with confidence.
CAP is fully funded and facilitated each Wednesday from 4/5/2022 – 15/6/2022 for 2 hours with the added bonus of catering.
Join in on our weekly Cuppa 4 a Carer session allowing you to debrief, celebrate success and debunk challenges, will be available during and after the project, so you have access to a non-judgemental safe environment to respite in.
As a carer you will engage in various activities each week including:
Reconnecting through wellbeing activities
Map you career and plan your current or future goals, or learn what they maybe or even be prepared for when you are ready to explore your career pathways.
Upskill by enrolling in our very own Digital Training Package to gain the skills and confidence to take control of your life admin, prepare to study or enter/re-enter the workforce
Build your confidence in resume writing, cover letter writing and interview readiness with DRAKE
