We set strategic objectives every three years to ensure that our work remains focussed and responsive.
VISION AND APPROACH
At Carers Worldwide every action we take is dedicated to achieving our vision, mission and strategic goals.
Vision
Our Vision is a world in which every carer is valued and their needs are met.
Mission
Our Mission is to achieve recognition of the role of carers and to transform the lives of carers, their families and their communities.
Strategic Goals
Our strategic goal is to act as a catalyst to:
- Change attitudes and promote support for carers, their families and communities, empowering them towards better health, wellbeing and economic security
- Inspire systemic change in the government, private and third sectors so they recognise and respond to the needs of carers
THE CARERS WORLDWIDE MODEL
We have developed a model comprising of five core elements which together transform the holistic wellbeing of carers:
We want as many family carers to be helped as possible, so please feel free to use our model to help support family carers, but if you do so please credit Carers Worldwide.
Carers Support Groups
To reduce loneliness and isolation, create social networks and support emotional wellbeing.
Health Services
To provide access to physical and mental health services including locally available counselling.
Employment, Training and Education
To facilitate access to employment, training or education, tailored as appropriate to co-exist with caring responsibilities.
Advocacy
To strengthen the collective voice of carers to advocate for their needs and the provision they require at community, regional and national level, leading to changes in policy and practice.
Respite and Short Breaks
To offer a break from caring responsibilities along with the development of alternative high quality care options such as day care centres.
