Supporting older carers and their families in Powys
Project Background
When carers are empowered to shape the support they receive, outcomes are better for individuals, families, and the wider community. Timely and tailored support is vital for carers to maintain their wellbeing and continue in their caring roles. Carer breakdown is often preceded by chronic stress, isolation, and lack of support, especially when carers cannot take breaks or access timely services. However, when carers feel heard, valued, and have space to work towards their own outcomes, their wellbeing improves. The IMPACT Facilitator is working with Credu on a peer support change project with older carers and their families. By co-producing this work with carers the aim is to reduce demand on crisis services, improve mental health outcomes, and build sustainable, strength-based care systems.
