Share and Connect - Thurs 1 June 7.30-9.00pm - Carer Assistance Program with Tessa Hughes, FCAV Program Lead

The CAP delivers support to carers who recognise many diverse issues impacting their wellbeing, both related and often unrelated to their parenting role.

Some of the concerns identified by parents and carers requiring therapeutic support include:

• anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation; 
• grief and loss; 
• emotional support during a CIMS investigative process; 
• parental stress; 
• system stress where placements are in jeopardy of breaking down; 
• thoughts of exiting the system; 
• relationship issues requiring joint/couple sessions.  

The CAP is available at no cost to all PCA Families across the state which include Permanent Carers, Adoptive Parents, and Family Court Ordered Kinship Carers.
