Help make positive changes to your life by working one-on-one with a coach to identify, explore and reach your personal goals.
Carers often have to set aside their own needs because the needs of the person they care takes priority. Facilitated Coaching is about taking time out to think about your own wellbeing and consider how you might find time to balance your needs with the needs of others.
Working one-on-one with a carer coach, Facilitated Coaching empowers carers to identify their own needs, build resilience and learn strategies to improve overall wellbeing.
In conversation with an experienced coach, a carer can reflect on how things are going and whether there are areas of your life you might like to make some meaningful changes to. Together, you can identify possible steps that move you towards achieving your goals.
Facilitated Coaching is a free service available in-person, online using a secure telehealth platform or over the phone.
