They make you feel welcome, important and recognise who you are. You don’t often get that on courses.
It’s unique. It’s not someone giving you a lecture about being a carer. It’s the information they have gathered, how they break it down and pass it on.
It’s lifechanging…Being with people wo have the same struggles and know what you’re going through.
