As part of National Carers’ Day, Thursday October 10, the Support and Respite Platform (PFR) for caregivers in South 79 is organizing actions to raise awareness among caregivers and offer them various types of assistance: information and training, administrative procedures , relaying and support at home, psychological support, group leisure workshops, discussion groups, stays for caregivers, etc.
You are a caregiver if you support a loved one (spouse, parent, child, neighbor, friend, etc.) with certain daily life activities who are losing their independence due to age, illness or a disability. .
Alice Ballu, coordinator of PFR Sud 79, brought together around twenty associations and services at the beginning of September at Melle hospital to prepare for these days: It is estimated that there are more than 11 million caregivers in France. Facilitating the identification and identification of caregivers is the idea of the national day to support them in this role. Go to different places, to a market, to a high school. Many caregivers are very isolated. But they are not alone in experiencing this.
On the program for National Carers’ Day in Melle, Thursday October 10, from 1:30 p.m., at the Metullum: information stands from professionals, associations and caregivers; improvised theater, “Héritages” by the company Un bruit de bell; time for discussion and testimonies from caregivers.
