Hey everyone :)
We are hosting a special night to raise awareness and get the word out there about young carers.
More info to come on Tuesday but in the mean time...
please read this fact sheet for more info about who a young carer actually is.
Also - please have a look at the young carers website www.youngcarers.net.au which has numbers and links to help you or someone you know :)
I hope we can see you Tuesday when we welcome staff from Carers Australia and some young carers who want to share their stories and what helps them.
