Developed as part of the Australian Family Carer Toolkit Project, this new resource helps to prepare unpaid carers to care for a partner, parent, child or friend at the end of life.
According to Professor Hudson, “CarerHelp fills a gap for carers. It supports them by providing high quality and practical information on symptoms; support services; common financial and legal issues; managing communication and wellbeing; and other resources, which specifically address the end of life context. Five pathways provide easy to understand guidance. Each of the pathways contains tailored resources, tools and information to help in caring for a person at the end of life.”
CarerHelp is funded by the Australian Government Department of Health.
