Lisa Underwood will be presenting at the Unseen Heroes – The Challenges and Impact of Young Carers webinar.
Details
Join us for an insightful webinar hosted by Unseen Heroes, where young carers and former young carers will share their powerful, personal stories of caring for loved ones with mental health issues, addictions, illnesses, and disabilities. This session will shed light on the unique challenges they face, the emotional and physical toll of caregiving, and the vital support they receive (or lack thereof).
Explore key research on young carers, highlighting their distinctive struggles and the pressing need for improved advocacy and resources. Learn about our initiatives designed to support these incredible individuals and understand the essential role they play in our communities.
We’ll also introduce the Commonwealth Charter for Young Carers, a groundbreaking framework aimed at providing global recognition, support, and protection for young carers. Discover how this Charter is helping shape policies and raise awareness about the rights and needs of young carers worldwide.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of young carers and the crucial steps needed to make a lasting difference in their lives.
