Carers NSW is facilitating a 30-45 minute online Young Carer Awareness Session to support educators and service providers to identify young carers*, understand their experiences and needs, and connect them with the right supports.
In this session we will share information about:
- Who young carers are
- What they are doing for the people they care for
- Some of the impacts that they can experience while juggling school, work and their caring role
- Some of the current research around young carers
- Information about supports for young carers
- A young carer has been invited to join us to share their caring and lived experience.
