Most #UnpaidCarers don’t time to rest, earn or even think about their own health & well-being.

In a recent episode of #PeopleFixingTheWorld on #BBCWorldService, where we were featured, our Development Director Ruth Patil shares how we’re working to change that through our #CarersWorldwideModel 👇🏽

Carers Worldwide model and it's five elements - Carers Support Groups, Health services, Employment, Training and Education, Respite and Short Breaks and Advocacy

Everything we do comes back to one core idea - our #CarersWorldwideModel 💜🧡

Through this model, #UnpaidCarers across LMICs are finding space to care for themselves & gaining access to better health, ways to earn a living & the recognition they deserve ✨

See the five elements of this model 👇🏽

Our #CarersWorldwideIndia team recently joined a panel on #UnpaidCarers hosted by The Alternative Story & Surana Wellbeing Center.

We shared how our #CarersWorldwideModel supports family carers' #MentalHealth & helps ensure their needs are more effectively addressed within mental health systems 💜🧡

We at #CarersWorldwide understand how vital these breaks are. As part of our #CarersWorldwideModel we make sure #UnpaidCarers get to step away from their caring responsibilities to focus on their own wellbeing.

Whether that means meeting friends 👩🏾‍🤝‍👩🏽 or taking part in an income generating activity ✨

Providing physical & mental health services is one of the five core elements of our #CarersWorldwideModel. Ensuring #UnpaidCarers have the support they need to keep themselves fit & healthy, both physically & mentally, is so important for both them & the person they're caring for 💜🧡

Many #UnpaidCarers want to work but struggle to find opportunities. On #SocialJusticeDay, we highlight how we bridge this gap through our #CarersWorldwideModel 💜🧡
