A free, in person, Wellness Recovery Action Planning Course for Carers - join us to focus on your wellbeing in a safe, supportive group

Calling all carers - are you a carer living in East Sussex?

Do you support someone (an adult aged 18+) who couldn’t manage without your help – perhaps a partner, friend, family member, or neighbour? If so, our free 6-week WRAP Course for Carers offers a welcoming space just for you. Join other carers in a supportive group where you can pause, connect, and focus on your own wellbeing.

On this FREE, in person, Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP) Course you can…

Discover wellness tools

Create a daily wellness plan

Identify triggers and early warning signs

Learn about action planning for times when life gets challenging

Explore crisis planning

Build confidence and self-esteem

Share experience and learn from others

Focus on your wellbeing

Be supported, valued, and respected in a safe space with experienced facilitators, Lucy & Molly

This course "gives you a chance to look at your wellness from a new perspective. The concept of having a plan for my wellness had never even entered my mind before taking part in this course. It not only helps you see issues from a new perspective but also gives you a simple way in which to make changes that anybody can do.” - Course Participant

About the course

This is a structured 6-week course where each session builds on the last, supporting connection, trust, and shared learning. We understand carers may occasionally miss a session, but drop-in attendance isn’t possible, and the group closes to new participants after Session 2 to maintain a safe, consistent space.

Financial Support for your healthcare appointments

We recognise that finding time for yourself as a carer is not always easy, and arranging alternative care can sometimes be a barrier to attending a course.

Financial support may be available to help cover the cost of replacement care while you take part in WRAP. If this would make attending easier, please contact Care for the Carers to find out more about the Healthcare Appointment Respite Grant (HARG), eligibility criteria, and how to apply.

Care for the Carers – Grants for Carers

Care for the Carers administers the grant locally and can advise you on the support available.
