‘How to Say No’ Event – Carers Northumberland

/0 Comments/in /by

Carers have a right to say no but we all understand how difficult in can be to do so.

This free two hour session from Carers Northumberland aims to look at communication issues that often arise through caring, whether it’s communication with the cared for person or family members or with involved professionals. Sometimes, just being more confident about how to communicate with someone can make a big difference to the outcomes of a difficult conversation.

The session also explores what we mean by personal boundaries and how they affect our ability to say no. We all need some support at times.

This free session from Carers Northumberland is all about planning ahead – to manage the practical and emotional aspects of dealing with issues surrounding death and dying. It is something we all need to know about.

There can be difficult conversationd to be faced up to and emotive subjects to be considered, but in the long run isn’t it better to know and carry out someone’s last wishes than wait until it is too late to find out?

Come for yourself or to help you in your caring role – or both.
