Debbie Childs: Carers Can't Pour From an Empty Cup

from Mornings with Doug: Highlights · host Sonshine

Unpaid carers are the backbone of Australia's health system, yet many say they feel exhausted, invisible and unsupported. Reports that the Carer Gateway's 24-hour phone service has been reduced to business hours have reignited questions about whether carers can access help when they need it most. As Helping Minds CEO Debbie Childs says, "Caring doesn't happen neatly within business hours."  Check out this book by Debbie Childs: The Helping Minds Self-Care Collection    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
