We support many primary schools with running Young Carer groups.
In some of the groups this term we have been looking at ways to calm down when we are stressed or worried. This has included Slow Breathing and we have had fun making ‘Breathing Buddies’ using paper cups and strips of tissue paper.
Some groups have made ‘Resilience Caps’ to think of positive words we can say to ourselves to help our self esteem.
Our Young Carer leads in schools report that the children are always asking when we are next in their school as the children love their time together with other young carers and having some time out that is focused on them. We aim to make them feel important and build their confidence as Young Carers are truly AMAZING!!
