National Silence The Shame Day 💙

The 5th of May each year marks Silence The Shame Day, a national awareness event created to encourage people to open up about their mental health and reduce the negative stigma associated with mental health struggles.

At Dale Care we want our staff to feel supported and comfortable enough to open up about any issues they may be experiencing. We have support available through our Mental Health Lead, Carol Jackson, who is available to contact for all our carers. There are also blogs and a live chat which are accessible by joining our free employee assistance programme, TELUS Health.

If you would like to speak to Carol please call 07751 82989 or email carol.jackson@dalecare.co.uk. To join TELUS, please email tilly.brown@dalecare.co.uk for your invitation email.

Voices of Care: What Care Means to Me 🎙️

Care is one of the most powerful forces in our society. It is the thread that connects families, strengthens communities, and supports people to live with dignity, independence, and purpose.

For many carers, both paid professionals and those who care for loved ones at home, “care” is more than a job or responsibility. It is a deeply personal experience, shaped by compassion, resilience, and the desire to make a difference.

As part of our Voices of Care series, we’re shining a light on what care truly means to the people who give and receive it every day.
