Evidence of benefits of noticing carers early (improving resilience)

Caring with Confidence (CWC):

‘CWC does what it says.  It made me feel as though I was

not alone and helped me with how to cope in different

situations.  I also made lots of wonderful new friends”

‘CWC has taken me from 'being a victim of my

circumstances' to realizing it's in my hands to be

more positive and make a difference to my own life".
