Workshop – Young Carer Awareness in Schools

As a teacher, wellbeing professional, support staff member or school leader, you may be one of the first people to notice when a student is struggling to balance their education with their caring role.

Did you know many Young Carers don’t identify themselves as Carers, even when they’re providing daily support to a family member or friend living with disability, mental illness, or with a chronic health condition?

Join our free online workshop for education professionals across South Australia and learn how to create a more Carer Aware education environment.

The workshop will cover:

Recognise and identify Young Carers in your education setting

Understand the impact caring responsibilities can have on learning, attendance and wellbeing

Support positive outcomes through early identification and engagement

Connect Young Carers with free services, supports and referral pathways

Help students achieve their education goals while managing their caring responsibilities
