Serving the people of Bradford, Harrogate, Selby and Craven Districts
We are pleased to have secured funding to offer free counselling support to unpaid carers through a new counselling and wellbeing service.
Carers can access up to 12 one-to-one therapy sessions with our student counsellors. Sessions will be offered in a way that works for you:
Counselling provides a safe, confidential space to talk through any challenges, worries or emotions you may be experiencing and to explore ways of supporting your wellbeing. If you are offered counselling, you will be invited to attend weekly sessions at the same time each week.
Referrals are made through your Carers Resource locality Worker. If you feel counselling could be helpful, you can also complete a support request here: https://civicrm.carersresource.org/acsrpr
