Call for routine screening of carers for signs of depression

11/5/2013

 
BBC News has today run a headline story about regular screening of carers' health and that 40% of carers are thought to be at risk of depression or stress. (Click here for the full story).This probably is really news to most of us and many carers are left to find their own pathway through the role of being a carer. Stress is a common issue that we see carers suffering from and I am sure many carers could identify with the thought of being depressed. Richmond Carers Centre and the Carers Hub Service partners all offer different services that can help carers to learn about ways to manage stress and cope better, maintaining their health and well-being. Locally there are services targeting carers health and you may like to call Richmond Carers Centre on 020 8867 2380 for advice on what is available. Many carers have found ways to cope, the question today is:
What is your way of coping with stress and what do you do to try to reduce the impact it has on your own health?
