Carer Friendly is part of the charity TuVida

Pentwyn CMHT , cardiff and Vale UHB

At Pentwyn CMHT, we recognise that caregiving is an essential responsibility that significantly impacts not only the carers themselves but also the individuals they care for, as well as our staff and the wider community. Carers—whether family members, friends, or professional caregivers—play an invaluable role in supporting those with health conditions, disabilities, or other care needs. We deeply acknowledge and appreciate the immense contribution carers make to the well-being of others, and we are dedicated to ensuring they are recognised and supported in every possible way.

We are fully committed to raising awareness about the challenges carers face, both within our organisation and in the communities we serve. This includes educating our staff and others about the diverse and often unseen responsibilities that carers undertake, as well as the emotional, physical, and financial pressures they may experience. By fostering understanding and empathy, we aim to ensure that all carers are acknowledged for their vital role and are equipped with the knowledge of available support services in the local area.

We also commit to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where carers feel valued, heard, and understood. This means ensuring that their voices are integral to the services we provide and that they have access to resources that can alleviate the challenges they encounter. Whether it’s offering flexible working arrangements for staff carers, providing information on local support networks, or ensuring carers are considered in our service delivery, we will strive to meet their needs with respect, compassion, and understanding.

Through our commitment, we aim to build a culture where carers are not only supported but also empowered to continue their invaluable work with dignity and confidence. We pledge to continually review and improve the ways in which we provide this support, ensuring that it remains relevant and effective for those who dedicate so much to caring for others.
