Carers learn through experience, often becoming experts in their own situations—but there’s always more to discover. You may want to deepen your understanding of your caring role, get some qualifications, or focus on your personal growth. Making time for learning, in a way that suits you, can be valuable—whether through conversations with peers, reading, watching videos, or taking a course.
Carers Leeds provides learning sessions covering different topics throughout the year. We also share details about opportunities provided by Carers Leeds and other organisations in our newsletter.
