This workshop raises awareness of the challenges in the workplace for carers. It equips people with the knowledge, tips and tools they need to support themselves or their colleagues who are caring.

Carer Awareness Training for Line Managers
This session covers specific advice and support for line managers who are supporting people in the sandwich generation and may also be in it themselves.
The session can be designed around the specific needs of the organisation. However, usual content includes insight about life in the sandwich generation whilst being an employee from real-life case studies, signs of stress to look out for resources and tips on how you can support.
We also offer 121 coaching for any line managers who are looking for more personalised confidential support.
Available online or face-to-face.
Coaching
To promote the emotional well-being of your colleagues and provide them with a supportive environment to address challenges, we offer:
1:1 Coaching – a safe space where managers or colleagues who are caring can discuss challenges, reduce stress, and develop coping strategies
Our coaching is designed to help people balance taking care of others with reaching their own goals.
Group coaching – for colleagues who are in the Sandwich Generation. These sessions bring people together to share experiences and get support in managing their caring duties while also growing personally and professionally.
All coaching starts with a quick 20-minute chat to make sure coaching is a good fit for the person, and that they feel comfortable working with us.
Speaking and panel discussions
Invite Sherry to speak at your colleagues, ERG, event or Lunch and Learn to raise awareness and foster understanding of the Sandwich Generation.
In previous sessions, Sherry has used insightful presentations and engaging storytelling to educate audiences about the challenges faced by carers and inspire them to offer support and empathy to those in need.
Sherry is an experienced speaker who is able to frame important messages and practical tips within her own personal experiences of simultaneously looking after three children, working in a pressured job and caring for her unwell parents.
