How CASS can help

 
CASS member and posterWe offer free and confidential advice, information and emotional support to individual carers either on the telephone, through home visits and a range of printed material including our quarterly magazine Aspects. Staff can also help you find your way around statutory agencies, such as Health and Social Care and signpost you to other appropriate services.

There are also regular CALL Groups and a varied programme of activities and courses run by our Health & Wellbeing Service arranged for carers in south Staffordshire, where you have an opportunity to try something new and meet up with other people in a similar position to you. CASS may also support carers to access work opportunities.

As well as supporting carers who are caring for someone (an adult or child) with a disability or an illness (such as a learning disability, sensory impairment, a health problem and/or a disability related to age) CASS provides specialist services for Mental Health Carers and people with progressive neurological conditions and their carers (PDSS). The Young Carers Team will help those Carers up to the age of 18.

CASS currently employs 28 staff. Meet the Staff.

CASS also aims to raise awareness of carer’s needs with professionals and the public and lobby for change where services do not exist or are inadequate.
