The School of Nursing and Midwifery (QUB) is delighted to announce the launch of a new course for Carer Advocates that commenced in September 2006
Certificate for Carer Advocates: in Psychosocial Models of Care and Management
The demand for the course was based on the recognition that carers for people with a mental illness play an extremely important role in helping the recovery process of the person who is unwell. Carers also have their own needs, which not infrequently they overlook. The Development of the crucial role of Carer Advocate by a local, non-profit, organisation and registered charity CAUSE (Carers and Users Support Enterprise) was in direct response to meeting the needs of carers.
