Peer Support Network – Getting Through Together | Please find attached details of our new online peer support network. This network is aimed at anyone working in care who has experienced grief, bereavement or loss at work during the pandemic and needs a bit of space to talk about it. You can connect with others who have had similar experiences, in a confidential space.
This is a partnership between Social Care Wales, Age Cymru, Care Forum Wales and Hospice of the Valleys.
