Conscious Carers

Supporting Our Carers: Bottoms up Approach

As managers and leaders in the care industry, we have a pivotal role to play in the well-being of our carers.

Recent statistics from Carers UK reveal a startling reality:-

70% of carers are asking for support for their own mental health.

61% report experiencing psychological distress.

These figures serve as a wake-up call. Our carers need us now more than ever.

Many of them carry years of trauma and emotional baggage from their past, and it’s crucial that we listen to their needs.

Here at Candice Jane Academy, we understand the emotional toll of caregiving.

That's why we've developed our Conscious Careers programme, which adopts a bottom-up approach to support carers.

We help carer’s identify and process their trauma and trapped emotions in their body and release this using safe and simple techniques.

We are delighted with our collaboration with Fife Council’s Kinship Social Work Team where we are facilitating our programme to a group of Kinship Carer’s

It’s wonderful to hear them say “I didn’t know it was possible to feel such peace without having to talk about my problems or dig up all those horrible memories, this is magic” Many are feeding back that they feel they are much more conscious around their emotions, triggers and behaviours with the young people they care for.

Our aim?

To empower them to identify their own triggers and release the emotions that may be holding them back.

When carers are emotionally equipped, they’ll be more at peace in their roles.

This not only helps them but also significantly enhances the care they provide, leading to a loving and supportive environment for those they serve.

Imagine a workplace where carers feel understood, valued, and connected – a place that minimises placement breakdowns and fosters lasting relationships.

Are you curious to learn more about how we can transform the experience of our carers together?

Let’s talk about how the Conscious Careers programme can make a difference.

We are facilitating an online zoom Webinar on Wednesday 16th October at 4pm UK Time to share how our programmes may benefit your organisation.

NB - we have programmes for the judiciary system, carers, staff wellbeing and young people. Please email to find out more.
