About this session

Working caregivers are the invisible workforce inside your workforce — and most of them are running on empty. Built specifically for the "Caring for Someone with Mental Illness" context, this session stays concrete and respects your team's time.

Participants leave knowing which specific organizations to contact, which benefits to check, and which conversations to have this month.

What your people take away

  • Access the Care Act 2014 caregiver's assessment — a statutory right most caregivers don't use
  • Navigate the three questions to ask on any care-home tour that cut through the marketing
  • Apply the Carer's Allowance eligibility rules and how to apply in under an hour
  • Ask the difference between Attendance Allowance and PIP — and which to pursue first
  • Build the Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) structures and when to set them up
