Support Care for the Carers
Staying Healthy. Your Well being
Carers Wellbeing Initiative Clinic at The Isabel Blackman Centre, Hastings Old Town
The Carers Wellbeing Initiative( CWI) and the Isabel Blackman Centre are working together to provide personal treatments in a number of therapies including massage, shiatsu, reflexology, Indian head massage and aromatherapy. They aim to aid relaxation and wellbeing, thus helping to reduce the symptoms associated with stress and caring.
Each appointment lasts around 50 minutes. However during the first appointment a lifestyle and detailed case history is taken in order to obtain an in depth picture of carers’ wellbeing and health issues. All consultations are confidential and where there is a condition for which any of the therapies may not be appropriate, referral to other healthcare professionals will be discussed.
Participants attend their programme at no cost but in return are expected to provide feedback on their experience. This feedback will help them obtain funding to continue to provide the programme to a wider community of carers for free.
Scheduled to run once a fortnight, due to popularity and an increase in demand, the clinic now runs every Monday afternoon.
If you are interested in attending the clinic or if you would like to find out more please contact Andy Jancewicz on carers. wellbeing @ gmail. com or you can call the Isabel Blackman Centre on 01424 446428. Alternatively take a look at their website: www. tcwi. org. uk
