Upcoming Events for Carents – Find Support and Community

Caring for elderly parents is one of life’s most significant responsibilities.

It can bring deep connection and fulfilment, but it also comes with challenges that can feel overwhelming, isolating, and emotionally exhausting. At Carents, we recognise the realities of this journey and have created a range of events to support, guide, and empower you.

Whether you are looking for practical tools to build resilience, ways to manage emotional strain, or simply a space to connect with others facing similar experiences, our events provide a welcoming and understanding environment.

Time to Talk: A Safe and Supportive Space for Carents

Dates: Fortnightly
Format: Online group discussion

Caring for elderly parents can be isolating, especially when friends and colleagues are not facing similar challenges. The shift from being supported by a parent to becoming their caregiver can feel overwhelming, bringing new emotions, responsibilities, and pressures.

The Time to Talk series provides a fortnightly online space where carents can:

Share their experiences in a friendly and non-judgemental setting.
Connect with others who understand the unique challenges of caring for elderly parents.
Discuss everyday struggles, from emotional strain to practical concerns.
Gain insights from shared experiences and feel reassured that they are not alone.

These sessions are not formal therapy or professional counselling but offer peer support, connection, and shared understanding in a welcoming environment.

If you are looking for a place to talk openly, Time to Talk offers a supportive community where your experiences will be heard and valued.

Join us and be part of a supportive space for carents.

Looking After Your Emotional Wellbeing

While our events provide valuable support, they are not a substitute for professional mental health treatment. If you are struggling with emotional wellbeing, we encourage you to seek additional support from professional services, including:

NHS Talking Therapies – Free support for anxiety and depression.
MIND – A leading mental health charity offering information and support.
Samaritans – Available 24/7 for anyone in distress. Call 116 123 for free.
SHOUT – A confidential text support service. Text "SHOUT" to 85258.
CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) – Support for mental wellbeing and crisis situations.

Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. If you need help, you are not alone.

Why Join Our Events?

Our events are designed to provide:

Expert guidance from professionals with experience in emotional resilience, coaching, and caring for elderly parents.
A safe and understanding space to discuss the challenges of caring for a parent.
A supportive community of like-minded carents who understand your journey.
Flexible online sessions so you can join from anywhere.

Many people feel they must handle everything alone, but you do not have to navigate this journey without support.
