Barwon Young Carers Support Group

This group is for young carers (between ages 8-20 years) who are looking after a family member (parent, aunt/uncle, sibling, grandparent etc.) with a disability or mental illness or an elderly family member/friend. The group is activity based, runs during the school holidays and offers peer support, information and social support.
IS THERE A FACILITY FOR THE PERSON I AM CARING FOR TO BE LOOKED AFTER WHILE I’M ATTENDING THE MEETING?
