Caring with Confidence

Caring with Confidence is a free, knowledge and skills based programme for unpaid carers in England over the age of 18. Topics covered include financial resources, day-to-day caring and coping with the caring role.

The programme, which is funded by the Department of Health, helps carers make a positive difference to their life and that of the person they care for. Carers can access the programme by attending local group face-to-face sessions, completing self-study workbooks, through online sessions or a mix of all three.

Group delivery will be run in locations across the country by local providers who have the knowledge of their area and their carer demographic. Carers choosing self-study workbooks or online sessions also have the option of support from mentors but can work through the sessions at their own pace and at a time convenient to them.
