Carers NSW is facilitating a 30-45 minute online Young Carer Awareness Training 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.

This session will be delivered via Microsoft Teams. You will require access to a computer with speakers (a microphone and video camera are a bonus).

If you are interested in attending Young Carer Awareness Training but you require more information, please contact Carers NSW on 02 9280 4744 or email youngcarers@carersnsw.org.au.

*A young carer is any child or young person aged 25 years or under, who helps to support a family member or friend living with disability, mental illness, drug or alcohol dependency, chronic condition, terminal illness, or who is ageing or frail.
