DESCRIPTION
Caring for Carers is a project that seeks to provide evaluation, consultancy and therapeutic and educational intervention services to lighten the burden of care and improve the quality of life of carers and those they care for, encouraging them to accept help and promoting self-care and socialisation.
All of this is achieved by means of selective and indicated prevention measures, through phone calls, home visits and group sessions on a range of topics.
The programme is geared towards people of all ages who are the primary caregivers of elderly persons or of persons of any age, as well as towards elderly persons themselves. It directly benefits the carers and indirectly benefits those who require care due to functional or cognitive issues.
OBJECTIVES
- Provide psychological support and/or emotional reinforcement to overburdened carers, lightening their load and improving their quality of life
- Promote self-care among carers and increase their ability to request help and involve other people in the care
- Facilitate the acceptance of social resources that allow negative care-related situations to be reversed or mitigated
- Provide carers with tools that improve their ability to care for dependant persons
- Facilitate social integration to prevent potential loneliness in carers, working to eliminate or reduce its consequences
- Foster social relations and mutual aid among carers, preventing family isolation
- Evaluate the various actions taken, including the specific aspects of activities as well as their outcome and impact
DURATION
The administrative service agreement is scheduled to begin on 1 October 2021 and has a duration of 24 months.
