Our Carer Services

Carer Coaching

Coaching is an individualised, short-term support and can be accessed via phone, online, or face-to-face at one of our offices. Coaches are skilled staff who can support carers to:

  • Identify their own needs and goals
  • Explore a balance between their needs and the responsibilities of their caring role
  • Develop strategies to support their caring role
  • Explore access to the NDIS or a Disability Support Pension

Counselling

Counselling is a safe and confidential collaboration between qualified counsellors and carers to promote mental health and wellbeing, enhance self-understanding, and resolve identified concerns.

Skylight offers short-term counselling services for carers who are experiencing difficulties with anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss as a result of their caring role.

Peer Groups

Peer groups provide carers with an opportunity to connect, share and learn from each other.
These groups can assist carers to:

  • Meet other carers in similar circumstances
  • Share experiences and practical insights
  • Learn from one another and develop networks of support
  • Build knowledge and understanding
  • Explore strategies for increasing resilience

Skylight facilitates various peer groups and can help you to connect with the right group in your local area.
