💙 CARERS WEEK 2026 💙

Do you know an incredible parent carer who deserves a little recognition?

This years Carers Week, we want to celebrate ALL of the amazing parent carers in our community — the ones who give endlessly, advocate fiercely, juggle the impossible, and still show up every single day. 🌟

Whether they support a child with additional needs, navigate appointments and paperwork, provide emotional support, or simply keep going through the hard days… we see them, and we know how much they do.

Nominate a parent carer you know and help us give them a little treat this Carers Week as a reminder that they matter too 💛

✨ Nominations close May 31st
✨ Nominate someone who deserves kindness, recognition, and a moment for themselves
✨ Let’s celebrate the strength, love, and resilience of parent carers together

Parent carers are often told how resilient they are.
But resilience should not be built on isolation.

This week we want to remind every parent carer:
You were never meant to do this alone.

Taking action for your mental health might simply be finding people who understand the reality:
• the meltdowns in supermarket car parks
• the school battles
• the waiting lists
• the loneliness
• the grief nobody talks about
• the exhaustion hidden behind “I’m fine”

Connection matters.
Being understood matters.
And your mental health matters too.

If this week has taught us anything, it’s that parent carers deserve more than praise for surviving — they deserve proper support.

Sometimes the strongest thing a parent carer can do is stop pretending they’re okay.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, our message is simple:
Take action before burnout makes the decision for you.

Burnout in parent carers is often normalised.
Running on adrenaline becomes routine.
Surviving becomes mistaken for coping.
But you deserve support before crisis point.

Take action by:
• speaking to someone
• accessing counselling
• finding your people
• asking professionals to really listen
• making space for your own needs too

You spend every day advocating for your child.
Let someone be there for you.

There’s a type of exhaustion parent carers carry that sleep doesn’t fix.

The mental load.
The hypervigilance.
The grief.
The advocating.
The fear about the future.
The constant pressure to “cope.”

And yet so many parent carers still feel guilty for struggling.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re encouraging families to take action by being honest.

Honest that this role can be beautiful and brutal.
Honest that love does not cancel out exhaustion.
Honest that caring for a disabled child can impact your mental health deeply.

You are not failing because this is hard.
You are carrying more than most people ever see.

“Just take some time for yourself.”Most parent carers would LOVE to know when exactly they’re supposed to fit that in.Be...

“Just take some time for yourself.”

Most parent carers would LOVE to know when exactly they’re supposed to fit that in.
Between caring responsibilities, fighting systems, managing appointments, financial pressure, exhaustion and worrying constantly about your child’s future… self-care can feel impossible.

So this Mental Health Awareness Week, we want to change the conversation.
Taking action for your mental health does not have to mean spa days and yoga retreats.

It can mean:
💚 putting boundaries in place
💚 asking school or practitioners for support
💚attending a peer support group
💚accepting help without guilt
💚unfollowing accounts that make you feel inadequate
💚admitting you’re struggling

Small actions still count.

Especially when you’re carrying the weight parent carers carry every single day.

MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK 2026 - TAKE ACTION 💚

Parent carers spend so much time fighting for everyone else that they often forget they’re allowed to matter too.

The appointments.
The forms.
The meltdowns.
The sleepless nights.
The constant “holding it together.”

Sometimes taking action doesn’t look big or brave.

Sometimes it’s:
• asking for help
• saying “I can’t manage this alone”
• cancelling plans
• taking 10 minutes to breathe in the car
• finally replying to that message
• reaching out to another parent who gets it

You do not have to hit crisis point before you deserve support.
This week, we want parent carers to remember:
Taking action for your mental health is not selfish and we're here to help.
You don't have to do this alone!
