Personal
Support
The George Hardwick Foundation offer a range of
support services to help carers and former carers
who are struggling with their role.
We use both former carers, who are trained by us
to bring their knowledge and experience of the role
to help other carers, as well as qualified counsellors,
or counsellors in training. |
|
As with all of our Volunteers, they go through a
stringent recruitment and selection procedure, including
Criminal Records checks, before they begin working
with our team. |
Befriending
& Mentoring
We have a befriending and mentoring service that
can put you in touch with a carer who has been in
a similar position to yourself and has been trained
by The George Hardwick Foundation to give one to
one support.
Please contact your nearest centre for more information. |
|
Group
Support
If you prefer to be part of a group, we have a growing
number of small groups who like to meet regularly
at the centre to share experiences, listen to guest
speakers, or just have a cup of coffee and a bit
of a break.

information and timetables. |

Coping
with bereavement,
loss and anticipatory grief
We have special help for carers facing loss or living
with bereavement. There are regular courses where
carers can learn more about the process of grieving
and how to come to terms with loss, as well as individual
appointments.

information. |

Counselling
Many carers deal with a wide variety of stressful
life situations. Our counsellors can help you develop
effective coping skills. In addition, we hope to
help you gain the problem-solving and decision-making
skills necessary for effectively managing your life.
Please contact your nearest centre for more information
– we will be more than happy to discuss this
further with you in the strictest of confidence.
If you are unable to speak in person, please do
not hesitate to email Debbie@georgehardwickfoundation.org
or send a letter marked FAO: Debbie Wilson to our
head office in Stockton.
