Friendly Wards pilot

When a loved one is admitted to a ward it can be a daunting and confusing time for their family, friends and unpaid carers. You may feel isolated and confused, and events may feel out of your control. These sessions provides a space to meet others in similar situations, get information from the ward to help understand your position and gain general pointers on the importance of self-care and how it can support recovery.

What will I get from the course?

• Develop a better understanding of the ward, where you’re at and what can happen next

• Learn techniques to lower stress and centre yourself

• Understand what resources are available to you and the person you support.

Contact Recovery College to book a space in-person in March if you are supporting a family member or friend on Rose Ward, or online in April if you are supporting an inpatient on a SWLSTG ward.
