How We Support Carers in South Australia
Through our partnership with Carers SA, we deliver support funded via the Carer Gateway, providing carers with access to practical assistance, connection and wellbeing support.
Carer Coaching
Carer Coaching is an individualised, short-term support service accessible via phone, online, or face-to-face at one of our offices.
Our skilled coaches assist carers in:
- Identifying their own needs and goals
- Balancing their needs with the responsibilities of their caring role
- Developing strategies to support their caring role
- Exploring access to the NDIS or a Disability Support Pension
Carer Counselling
Skylight Counselling is a safe and confidential collaboration between qualified counsellors and carers, aimed at promoting mental health and wellbeing, enhancing self-understanding, and resolving identified concerns.
Skylight offers short-term counselling services for carers facing challenges such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and loss due to their caring role.
Carer Peer Groups
Peer groups provide carers with the opportunity to connect, share, and learn from one another. These groups can help carers to:
- Meet other carers in similar circumstances
- Share experiences and practical insights
- Learn from each other and develop support networks
- Build knowledge and understanding
- Explore strategies for increasing resilience
Skylight facilitates various peer groups and can help you connect with the right group in your local area.
