Care2Serve Information Session

***Free, confidential services***
We all wear many hats in life – child, parent, partner, grandparent, friend or neighbour and many others.
We can often be wearing a carer’s hat, too, and not even know.
When you provide practical and emotional support to someone with disability, mental ill health, a chronic or life limiting illness, who is frail or aged or has alcohol or other drug dependence, then you are likely a carer.
Caring comes with a mix of feelings. Many find caring for someone they love or care for to be rewarding and fulfilling. Many also experience stress, tiredness, exhaustion and even grief from giving up everyday activities for their caring role and feel isolated.
Needing support as a carer can creep up on you. The demands on your time and emotions will often increase over time. You are not letting the person you care for down – or yourself – by reaching out for extra support.
Accessing support early in your caring journey can make all the difference.
Carer Gateway offers free, friendly and confidential supports across Tasmania. Contact us today.

SWN is working with Care2Serve to share information about the supports that may be available to individuals currently or soon to be caring for someone else.

We can connect you with Care2Serve directly or schedule a group information session if enough interest is received from members of our service region.
