Topic Tuesday // "You don't have to be isolated as a carer" // Tues 26th October, 7pm-8:30pm AEDT
Hi Forums Community,
This fortnight we are joined by one of our Peer Ambassador's talking about moving from isolation to connection as a carer.
Isolation as a carer is one of the big challenges we hear about on the Friends, Family and Carers Forum. Often others around carers may not understand what they are going through, which is where finding peers and peer support can be pivotal for so many.
This discussion will talk about the role of peer support in connecting carers and creating supportive relationships. We will also talk about the isolation and challenges experienced by carers in regional, rural and remote areas, and the additional challenges faced during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Please join us here on Tuesday 26th October 2021 from 7:00pm-8:30pm AEDT to talk about finding connection and peer support as a carer.

"I am here tonight because I want others to know they are not alone and that we are on our own journey, side by side with those we care for." @SA64 I really love this, and I think that something so many people here on the Friends, Family and Carers forum can relate to 
Hi to all 
I'm a peer support worker here at SANE and I'm very excited to be taking part in my first Topic Tuesday! Really looking forward to hearing from @SA64 and other members about their journey as a carer.
A little about me: I was a carer for 3 years for a family member with dementia who also suffered as a result from depression, anxiety and confusion. It was tough at times and the loneliness was tricky to navigate. Keen to hear from others who have navigated the same path and to share my experiences
