RECORDING // Carers Week Special Webinar // Navigating the path together: a Carer’s experience
🗣️ Navigating the path together: a Carer’s experience.
🎤 Sarah Martin – Mother, Carer, Author
Watch this FREE 60-minute recorded webinar, where we have an open, heartfelt conversation with Sarah Martin about her experiences caring for her daughter, Alice, and navigating complex mental health challenges together.
Sarah shares her powerful story, from Alice’s first psychotic episode overseas in Istanbul to her later diagnosis of bipolar disorder. As the author of Dear Psychosis, Sarah speaks with honesty and courage about the guilt, fear, and grief she has faced as both a mother and carer.
This special event is an opportunity to connect with others in the carer community and gain valuable insights about caring for someone with complex mental health needs, including:
- Navigating grief and guilt as a carer
- The impact of complex mental health issues on the whole family
- Overcoming stigma and advocating for your loved one
- Finding the right support for carers and families
