Caring by Design – thrive as a caregiver

Welcome to the “Caring by Design” online course—a comprehensive and empowering journey designed specifically for carers who want to enhance their caregiving experience while prioritising their own wellbeing. This course is not just about learning new skills; it’s about transforming the way you approach your role as a carer, helping you build resilience, find balance, and create a sustainable caring environment.

Why This Course?

Caring for a loved one is one of the most significant roles you can undertake. It’s rewarding, challenging, and deeply personal. However, it can also be overwhelming, leaving you with little time or energy to care for yourself. That’s why this course was created—to provide you with practical tools, strategies, and insights that will support you in your caregiving journey.

Drawing from real-life experiences, expert knowledge, and evidence-based practices, this course covers a range of topics that are essential for every carer. From understanding job design principles that can be applied to caregiving, to mastering stress management techniques and building a supportive environment, each module is crafted to help you thrive in your role.

What to Expect?

Throughout this course, you’ll engage in thought-provoking content, interactive exercises, and reflective practices that will challenge and inspire you. Each module is designed to be practical and accessible, so you can easily integrate the lessons into your daily life.

You’ll explore topics such as:

• Designing a caregiving routine that suits your needs and those of your loved one.
• Managing stress and preventing burnout.
• Building autonomy and control within your caregiving role.
• Enhancing your physical and emotional environment.
• And much more.
