Support We Provide Former Carers A Former Carer is someone who through bereavement has lost the person they cared for. It is possible for someone to be both a Former Carer & an active Carer for someone else and we will support Carers who identify themselves as such. We aim to enable Former Carers to readjust to life after loss and to move forward feeling supported. We recognise the importance of providing support for Former Carers both in the initial period following the loss of their role as a carer and also in the longer term whilst they grieve and adjust to their new circumstances. Our work with former carers is guided by the views of those we support. We will offer individual telephone support, signposting to appropriate services, and group support and information sessions aimed at reducing social isolation and encouraging and developing peer support.
