Our mental health is just as important as our physical health, with this in mind the NHS have created ‘Every Mind Matters’ to help people look after their mental health during the pandemic.

Every Mind Matters is full of tips and techniques on how to cope with Anxiety, Stress and even how to improve your sleep. To have a look at these tips or for more information please click on the link below:

Every Mind Matters | One You (www.nhs.uk)

If you do want to talk to someone about how your feeling or need some help coping with how you feel, please remember that Beacon South Yorkshire have their own counselling service which all our carers can access. For more information on this please don’t hesitate to contact us.

✨Important Notice ✨

The Covid-19 community testing offer has now been extended to include unpaid carers – this means people who have to leave their homes to help/care for others are eligible for twice a week Covid-19 testing.

More information on this can be found at the link below:
Community testing offer extended to unpaid carers (barnsley.gov.uk)

If you would interested in finding out more about these opportunities please feel free to get in touch with us.

Here at Beacon South Yorkshire, we have created this group so carers can come and have a safe space to chat, ask questions and feel connected in a time when we could be feeling quite lonely.

The group is private so only people who are members of this group will be able to see what you comment/post.

We have made this group to show you that we are still here to support you in any way we can. We have created an online safe space to explore your feelings/thoughts with people who may be experiencing or have experienced similar situations to yourself.
