CMHT Celebrates Carers Week 2021!

For more than 25 years, Carers Week has been a chance to celebrate our Carers and their invaluable work all across the country. This year, Carers Week is June 7^th – 13^th and it’s all about making our Carers feel visible and valued. We will be celebrating Carers Week 2021 from June 7^th – June 13^th with a special programme of events led by our Carer Support Worker Anthea. Carers Week is an annual celebration of everything our Carers do, recognising all the hard work and compassion they put into caring. We also have a couple of events lined up to help Carers take time for themselves and recognise how brilliantly they’re doing! As all our Hope College events are currently online, it’ll be easier than ever for you to connect with us during the week!

For the celebration, our special events include a “Body, Mind, and Soul” Mindfulness session on the morning of June 9^th, which will focus on your holistic wellbeing, and a Creativity Workshop to get those creative juices flowing (on the evening of June 9^th), whether writing, painting, or knitting—bring along anything that inspires you to be creative!
