Support for those who are carers.
Caring for another person out of love and support for that person is a wonderful gift to give of yourself. Caring on a continuing basis is usually not something that you had planned but in most cases is due to difficult, sometimes sudden life circumstances that you have no control over. Carers are oftentimes the forgotten people, the worn-out people and those at their wit’s end who keep going day after day after day. But who cares for the carer. Who cares for you? Who cares for your mental health which so often takes the strain of having no choice but to keep going while you get worn down.
Carer support is an area we are passionate about at the Cork Counselling clinic. To provide a service that gives the carer support for one hour a week, where you can offload your strain, burden and the emotional frustration that caring costs on a daily basis. Carers are also the ones who not only have to carry the person who may be chronically sick but are the ones who also have to carry the worry and distress of the situation. It is so important for the carer to give themselves a safe and compassionate place and non-judgemental space to build themselves up and give themselves the very care they give others. Our hope is for you to reach out for that one on one support so that you can be cared for as you care for another.
