Carers Voices: Supporting Unpaid Carers of People Affected by Addiction

Support for Unpaid Carers Affected by Addiction

In this episode of Carers Voices, Lisbeth shares how Being There can support Unpaid Carers who are caring for someone affected by addiction.

Supporting a loved one experiencing addiction can bring emotional challenges, uncertainty and feelings of isolation. Unpaid Carers may find themselves putting their own needs aside while trying to support someone close to them.

Lisbeth explains how Being There can offer support to carers, helping them feel understood and less alone. The conversation highlights the importance of having someone to talk to, connecting with others who understand and recognising that carers deserve support for their own wellbeing, too.

Whether you’re a young carer, a family member, or simply curious about the role young carers play in our communities, this episode will deepen your understanding and leave you inspired to make a difference.
