Care in the Center – Support Space for Caregivers

Details

La Aldea hosts a new edition of “Care in the Centre”, a free space for support and self‑care for caregivers The La Aldea de San Nicolás Town Council, through the Department of Social Policy headed by Jennifer del Carmen, will host during June and July a new edition of “Care in the Centre”, a project that seeks to create spaces for listening, support and self‑care for caregivers. This initiative is a continuation of the project “Caregivers Taking Care of Themselves”, previously carried out in different municipalities of Gran Canaria, which made it possible to support more than 500 women caregivers through workshops, meeting spaces and activities focused on emotional wellbeing, the strengthening of support networks, and the recognition of care work as a social and collective issue. Drawing on the experience gained in that project, this new proposal is now underway, based on working with groups that make it possible to delve into the participants’ real needs and encourage the creation of mutual support bonds. The sessions will be held in the Training Classrooms of the Local Employment and Development Agency, located at Calle Mariano de Cáceres nº 2, 2nd Floor, on 17 and 24 June from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and on 1 and 8 July from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Councillor for Social Policy, Jennifer del Carmen, stressed that “caregivers, who are mostly women, play an essential role in the wellbeing of our families and our community, but they often do so by relegating their own needs to the background”.
