Free Carer Me Time well-being online sessions and training for December & the New Year
Me Time sessions
Our Me Time sessions are a series of online activities to support your wellbeing, run by Carers Wales but open to carers across the UK.
What’s coming up:
Tuesday 5 December: 2-3.30pm: Online Safety: Critical Thinking and Resilience
Critical thinking is the process of understanding the information you receive online. There are many untrustworthy resources and news stories on the Internet, so it is essential to use critical thinking. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from knockbacks, and this is important online. Being resilient online will give you the confidence to take control of the digital world and know that you do not have to trust everything you see or hear online.
