Topic Tuesday// Calling all Carers! // Tuesday 28th March 2023 5:30-7PM AEDT

I don't know the answer to how to ensure I have support.  The only thing that I have done in the past is to tell 1 extended family member the extent of the issues.  (Mental health issues are usually not told to everyone.) This is so that they can provide emergency support/ childcare when I have needed to take someone to hospital or to an urgent appointment etc.

I'm sorry to hear that @Snowie2000. It can be really hard to find support or care when you're the one doing the support and caring usually. You might find some helpful information in this previous Topic Tuesday discussion on Caring for the Carer or there's also Carer's Gateway you can ring for support, 1800 422 737. Please take good care of you! 💜
