Learning Square Caring Together

Learning Square Caring Together

Caring for another is both valuable and challenging. Being more knowledgeable about care and knowing how to do some care acts can give you (self) confidence. The Learning Resource Centre Caring Together is an online repository of knowledge and experience for informal carers and volunteers. Caring, we do it together.

In full development

The Learning Square Together Caring is still under development and is supplemented by courses, education and training, also from care organisations Coloriet and Woonzorg Flevoland. We are the first to offer REINHELPT. This online learning environment provides answers, tips and practical information various areas.

Role of volunteers and informal carers

The importance of volunteers and informal carers in care is growing. As the number of elderly people increases and they continue to live independently at home for longer, more will be asked of you as a volunteer or informal carer. To support you in this, you can turn to REINHELPT.

This is REINHELPT

• Practice-oriented.
• Many online training courses and tips.
• Short videos with explanations.
  Lots of background information on:
  - Diseases (e.g. dementia)
  - Personal care
  - Walking and exercise
  - Eating and drinking

Online learning platform

Together with Coloriet and Woonzorg Flevoland, we are developing an online learning square to give informal carers and volunteers more confidence in their role.

REINHELPT is the first part of this. All three of us will complete our learning square in stages with our own learning offerings. Keep an eye on our website.
