Support for Carers and Family Members
Launch library · evergreen read
Carers and family members supporting someone through something difficult often forget that they, too, are allowed to reach out for their own support along the way. It is available regardless of how big or small the concern feels. It remains available whether it is a first call or a hundredth one. This is worth sharing with anyone else who might need it too.
Watching someone you love go through a hard time can be genuinely heavy, and there is no need to carry that weight without any help of your own. It is simply there, quietly, for whenever it happens to be needed. This is worth remembering, whatever is going on right now in life.
1800RESPECT is on 1800 737 732, and Lifeline is on 13 11 14, both available for carers and family members too, any hour of the day. Support is there for exactly as long as you happen to need it. You are never a bother for reaching out, whatever the hour happens to be.
