Infobus on June 7th - Young Carers
Young carers are people up to 25 years of age who provide unpaid care or support a family member or friend who has a disability, mental illness, drug or alcohol dependency, chronic condition, terminal illness or who is frail.
There are over 275,000 young carers in Australia, which equates to between 2-3 carers in every classroom.
If you identify as a young carer, are not sure or just want to find out more than this is the infobus for you!
We will be joined by a member of the Carers NSW Young Carer program and a Young Carer representative on June 7 at 8:30pm AEST to talk about being a young carer, where to go for support and looking after yourself.
If you'd like to ask a question anonymously, you can do that too right here:
We'll answer your question right after the live chat finishes
If you'd like to find out more about Young Carers you can visit the website here and join us on June 7 at 8.30pm AEST to talk about all things Young Carers.
WE WANT YOU to tell us what kind of infobuses you'd like to see! Let us know here.
