These sessions are designed for carers to focus on their personal well-being and self-care through creative and mindful activities, as well as sharing lunch together in a beautiful surrounding. Carers will benefit from the creative processes that encourage relaxation, connection and self-reflection with peers in similar caregiving roles.
