Carer Stress
& Burnout 
 

Are you caring for someone living with a chronic illness or disability? Taking care of yourself while taking care of someone else can seem extremely overwhelming. It might seem like life was difficult enough pre-diagnosis but now things feel really tough and it's difficult to find someone who understands. 

​

Does this sound like you? Are you feeling alone in your caring role and friends and family 'just don't get it'. Are you struggling with the responsibilities of caring for someone else? 

​

I have extensive experience supporting unpaid carers in a professional setting and and have over 10 years lived experience caring for a family member with a neurological disease. 

 

If you would like support from someone who understands please reach out.

Early Stage Carer Resource


This guide was developed for carers, by carers and was informed by the lived experience of Aunty Lorraine Tye and myself.

 

The pocket sized guide  offers insights on how to help a carer, acknowledging that sometimes when someone becomes a carer, their support network changes.


“Carers sometimes find post-diagnosis their friendship circles change. This is not necessarily a bad thing! As with all experiences in life, friends (malayarr) come and go depending upon our situation. Sometimes, when a loved one has been diagnosed with a disability or illness friends (malayarr) fade into the distance while others shine right into the present! Someone will be there for you! An old friend (malayarr), a new friend, or maybe a friend (malayarr) you’ve met online. It’s really important to reach out to those people when you need a little (or a lot) of help! Connect with people who understand. Find your tribe!"
