What issues related to mental health or carer support in Australia, do you think carers should come together and advocate about?

Hi again everyone,

This was the last discussion we had in our Topic Tuesday tonight.

We had some great ideas from members, who recomended such things as better support groups, more accessable respite services, etc.

What are your thoughts?

These discussions can really help everyone else out there trying to do their best in their caring role.

Hobbit.

This opinion piece from the Australian Aging Agenda is a great article to get the conversation started on this 🙂
