Caring in Silence: Understanding the Hidden Impact of Mental Illness on Unpaid Family Carers and Exploring Solutions

We are delighted to have hosted one of Catalyst Now's Mental Health Collaboration webinars.

In this webinar we discussed the benefits of recognising and supporting the mental health of unpaid family carers, both for the carers themselves and their families and communities.

We were joined by Jagannath Mishra from our resource partner Ekta in India, to discuss the impact that including family carers in their programmes has had. We also heard from Roksana, a carer in Bangladesh who has trained to become a Barefoot Counsellor and now supports other carers with their mental health. We discussed key actions and takeaways that people and organisations can implement to support unpaid carers in their own spheres of influence.

Thank you so much to Catalyst Now and the Mental Health Collaboration for trusting us to host this webinar.
