New publication! The WELL CARE Guide to investing in care partnerships: working towards implementation

The  WELL CARE Guide to investing in care partnerships is written to support project partners as they develop, promote, implement, and evaluate practices that support the mental wellbeing and resilience of informal carers and long-term care (LTC) workers. By providing a range of resources and references, it aims to bridge theory and practice in a way that is both instructional and inspirational.

Within the vast range of methods, tools and strategies that are available across the various academic, policy and practice communities, it can be hard to pinpoint those resources that are most helpful to reach your objectives. Or you may not know what to look for in the first place. This guide will help project partners and stakeholders to identify areas and issues that may (or that definitely do) require their attention when investing in supportive care partnerships. It highlights risks and opportunities from the scoping stage until the final evaluation, while also signposting partners to relevant resources, tools and methods that will help to practically address these issues. And – last but not least – it provides readers with an insight into various project activities.

This guide is a public deliverable of the WELL CARE project, developed within WP3: Developing resources, prototypes and ecosystems for improving resilience and wellbeing in December 2024). While produced within the framework of our particular project, we hope this resource can also be useful to any other stakeholder working on developing supportive care partnerships, offering them the benefit of lessons learned by those who have come before us.
