Quarriers Carer Support Service (Moray) provides a wide range of FREE learning opportunities for unpaid Carers of all ages throughout Moray.

Here's what some of those who have already taken advantage of the opportunity have found:

"I enjoyed the training and I found different information on how to help my son.  The course trainers were very helpful.”

“It has given me lots of thought on how to cope when things are going rough and what alterations to look for when I get stressed.”

"I have enjoyed meeting everyone on the course and will be sorry when it finishes but have taken away lots of things that I am going to
put in place."

"Been an uplifting and motivational experience!"

 YOU could be benefiting from our learning opportunities like the Carers above with just one quick call.  Have a look at what's on offer in Course Outlines.

Help to access learning opportunities

If you need someone to look after the person you normally care for let us know - free respite may be available.

If there are any other barriers to you taking up learning opportunities, which you feel you would benefit from, tell us as we will make every effort to overcome them.

  • Perhaps you feel you won’t know anyone and joining the session will be a bit daunting? 
  • Perhaps you think you might be put on the spot to answer questions or made to do things you don’t want to?

Don’t worry

These sessions are run for you, and we aim to make every one as relaxed and enjoyable as we can with you participating as much as you want to.

“I found the training really helpful and the environment very comfortable enabling me to speak openly.” - Mrs Murray, Keith

Quarriers is constantly trying to develop services to meet Carers' needs.  You might be looking to enter the job market due to a change in your caring role or you might like the idea of using your brain for something other than caring.  The increase in confidence and self esteem from learning something new or realising how much you already know can be very powerful.  We're here to help you experience that.

Current dates of our core skills and capacity building sessions, along with opportunities to gain accreditation for skills you already have, can be found on our calendar.

And remember

If would like to take up some learning which is currently not on offer, or you have suggestions for other sessions, please get in touch with the Learning Co-ordinator.  Places on sessions must be booked in advance.

FACTSHEETS AND TOP TOOLS

For those of you who would like to sample what's on offer, have a look at the following factsheets.  They give you a brief overview of certain topics and an insight into the information covered in some of the current learning opportunities.  The tools that some contain have been proven time and again to help Carers find a more positive perspective on life and caring while helping them identify their own needs and ultimately cope better.

If you have suggestions for other factsheets, or you wish to leave a comment, please do so at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it marking your e-mail for the attention of the Learning Co-ordinator.
