Young Carer Awareness Training

12:00pm-1:00pm, Tuesday 3 December 2024
 

Carers NSW is facilitating a 60-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 60 minute 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 will also join the session and 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 the Carers NSW Young Carer team 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.
