Hi Everyone and welcome to this session's Topic Tuesday on Respite.

A topic that may seem alien or familar for you. If you're a new or an experienced carer, I'd love to know whether respite is something that you've considered, or done? @Kiera80 @Sister @PeppiPatty @Alessandra1992 @GivingMick  @Cazzie I'd love to hear your input. 

For many carers, going away and leaving your loved one behind can create a sense of guilt. It can be hard balancing your own needs, and caring for the needs of others. I found this great resource from Carers Victoria that talks about how to prepare for respite.
