Does someone close to you live with mental health challenges?
Do you support someone living with mental health challenges, either emotionally, practically or financially?
Do you spend time worrying about someone with mental health challenges?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are a mental health carer.
If you are someone primarily taking care of a family, friend or acquaintance living with mental health challenges, there’s a good chance that you are a Mental Health Carer.
Mental Health Carers are:
You don’t have to live with the person or be their main support to be a mental health carer. People of all ages can be carers, including children. The majority of carers are not paid.
Australia has over 240,00 unpaid mental health carers.
Let’s take a moment to comprehend how hard it is when someone close to you struggles with mental ill-health. The energy it requires to make sure that they take their medications and show up for their appointments. The constant worrying about their safety or the change in their mood or behaviour. The effort it takes to organise not only your own life, but theirs as well, and you do it all – day-in-day-out, 365 days a year, 24 hours a day – because you love them and you feel you have no other choice but to care for them and do what needs to be done.
