Support in difficult times for unpaid carers and employers of Personal Assistants.
Many things have changed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and people’s wellbeing is now more important than ever. In response, Scotland’s National Wellbeing Hub www.promis.scot has been set up for everyone who has a responsibility to provide support to others, including unpaid carers. The Hub offers advice and support to help people adapt and cope with the day-to-day challenges being experienced such as isolation, anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep. Within the Hub there are lots of information, resources and activities to promote positive wellbeing and provide practical advice and tips on how to look after yourself. There is a designated page of information for unpaid carers to find help and support. There is also information for people who employ personal assistants, with links to organisations who can provide advice and guidance regarding self-directed support.

If you are an unpaid carer you are invited to attend a web session to learn more about the Hub and a programme called Feeling Good, which focusses on building personal resilience to cope with stress, anxiety, low mood.
