Care in the Center – Support Space for Caregivers

Details

La Aldea hosts a new edition of “Care at the Centre”, a free space for support and self‑care for caregivers The Town Council of La Aldea de San Nicolás, through the Department of Social Policy headed by Jennifer del Carmen, will host during June and July a new edition of “Care at the Centre”, a project that aims to create spaces for listening, support and self‑care for caregivers. The initiative arises as 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 well‑being, the strengthening of support networks, and the recognition of care work as a social and collective issue. Building on the experience gained in that project, this new proposal is now under way, based on groups that make it possible to delve into the participants’ real needs and to foster 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, carry out essential work for the well‑being of our families and our community, but they often do so by relegating their own needs to the background.” Those interested can register free of charge by writing to info@marvizigualdad.com or sending a WhatsApp message to 682 787 012. https://laaldeasanicolas.es/la-aldea-de-san-nicolas-acoge-una-nueva-edicion-de-cuidados-en-el-centro-un-espacio-gratuito-de-apoyo-y-autocuidado-para-personas-cuidadoras/ #mujeres #politicasocial #cuidadoras #ayuntamientolaaldea #laaldea
