We know support groups are great for meeting and talking to people in similar situations. In a support group, caregivers can identify with other caregivers, share their experiences and give each other advice. Most groups meet only once a month, leaving the caregiver with a lingering question: "So what do I do between monthly groups?"
Whether you are just starting out in your role as caregiver, been at caregiving role for a while, transitioning your care or have come to the end of your caregiver journey, coaching can benefit you across the course of caregiving.
Coaching is like a conversation in which the coach helps you, the caregiver, to identify goals and work out what is stopping you from achieving them.
The emphasis is on working together. It's having a partner supporting you on an individual basis to make your own decisions and take action. It's about helping develop self-confidence in your role as caregiver.
Coaching sessions normally last about an hour and can take place weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, whatever suits you best. Sessions are confidential and done in person, online or by phone.
