A message to our community: We see your strength.
The recent news from Perth has weighed heavily on all of us. During times like this, we want to reach out to the parents and caregivers who give everything they have, every single day.
Raising or caring for a young person with a disability & who is struggling can be an incredibly isolating battle.
You spend your days advocating for them to be seen and supported, often while feeling like you are drowning yourself. We know that "caregiver burnout" and compassion fatigue aren't just words—they are a heavy reality.
Please remember: You do not have to carry this alone.
