Nurture Self-Compassion for Unpaid Carers (Community Session)

We recognise that many unpaid carers already understand the importance of self-care and may know what helps them to feel well. However, the demands of caring for someone else can make it difficult to prioritise their own needs, leaving little time or energy to offer themselves the same care and compassion they so readily give to others.

This course is for unpaid carers, family members, friends and others who provide support to people they care about. If you're used to putting others first, we would like to offer a supportive space to extend that same kindness and compassion to you.

Nurture Self-Compassion for Unpaid Carers

What would it be like to treat yourself with the same care you offer others? This course gives you space to pause, notice how you’re doing, and respond to yourself with kindness rather than criticism. You’ll explore what self‑compassion looks like in everyday life and how small shifts in self‑talk can support your wellbeing.

In this course you will:

• Understand what self‑compassion really is - and why it matters

• Recognise signs of emotional overwhelm

• Respond to your inner critic with care instead of judgment

• Reconnect with what helps you feel grounded and supported

• Practise self‑kindness techniques

You’ll be part of a supportive group with plenty of space for reflection and gentle practice.

You can expect from us: 

• A safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment  

• A friendly and interactive delivery style 

• A mix of reflection, group discussion and practice-based learning  

• Encouragement to engage at your own pace and comfort level
