**About the Carers Service (Carers Centre)**
The carer’s service supports carers from the age of 5 years. The all age Carers Service fundamentally provides advice, information and support to family carers in Telford and Wrekin. We help to identify and register family carers of all ages.
Our Carer Centre Team provides direct support to the whole family, using a person centred and ‘Think Family’ approach and so assist the family carer to receive a seamless joined up (integrated) range of services/solutions at various points along the Carers Journey.
Our Carers Centre Team work together with the family carer to listen and provide an initial ‘Wellbeing Checkpoint’ which identifies areas of the carers life to provide stability and avoid deterioration of the family unit. A ‘strength-based asset approach’ is used to establish support already available to the carer through their own networks as much as possible. There are more complex cases which also require the Family Carer Resilience Worker to facilitate a person-centred approach with the carer at the heart of the provision of robust ‘wraparound’ connections to include a range of appropriate professional services to maintain family carers and those they are caring for in the community.
We provide a tailored approach to a ‘all age’ range of individual and group support and advice, which has developed community outreach work to include: one-to-one intensive support, family support including a multiagency approach support groups and respite activities in order for family carers to overcome challenges and often emotional stresses and continue to provide care & support for those they care for as well as their own independent life.
