This document outlines the necessary steps for setting up a Self-Care Skills Training Course, led by Yvonne McGlinchey, Self Care Support Coordinator. It addresses key areas such as session planning, identifying target groups and trainers, evaluation and feedback methods, and materials needed for the course. With insights gathered from previous participants, the project aims to support community development by promoting self-care practices. Collaborating with local groups, agencies, and partners is essential for successful implementation in the Coldhurst and Werneth areas.
