We’re starting a new carer café in the evenings in February.
If you can’t come to a daytime group because of your caring role or your working patterns, or you just find the evenings a bit empty, then join our newest carers café. Chat to other carers and exchange stories and a laugh.
The first meeting is on Thursday 11th February at 7pm.
Book your place through our website at carerslink.org.uk/events/evening-carer-cafe-2021-02-11/ , email whatson@carerslink.org.uk or call 0800 975 2131
We are working in partnership with DIFFERabled Scotland to deliver a 6 week series of autism and neurodiversity information sessions on line.
Each presentation lasts around 90 minutes with a short comfort break, and is followed by a Q&A session for about 30 minutes. You can also use the chat box throughout the session to interact and ask questions. The weekly sessions are being held on Wednesday evenings from 7 – 9pm, starting on 17th February or Thursday mornings from 10.30am to 12.30pm starting on 18th February
The sessions are as follows:
1. Understanding Autism and neurodiversity
2. Communication -issues and supports
3. Processing differences- the 3 theories of ASD that cause so many challenges
4. Sensory issues-impact and supports
5. Arousal and behaviour issues -causes and supports
6. Getting it right- practical session on how to analyse the cause of problems and how to form action plans
If you are interested in participating please email differabledscotland@gmail.com. We can then confirm your place and send you a Zoom link and more information (handouts etc.) closer to the start of the sessions.
Do you know a young person (aged 11 to 26) who has helped improve the lives of others? Why not recognise this by nominating them for a Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards 2021
The awards celebrate the inspirational contributions and achievements of thousands of young Scots who have made a real difference to communities across Scotland. We know lots of those live in East Dunbartonshire, so get nominating. You can find out more, and nominate someone, at www.youngscotawards.com/
If you're looking for a break from your caring role, listen to our chat with Catriona and find out what Carers Link can offer you. Listen at carerslink.org.uk/whats-on/podcasts/.
