Hey there to all the wonderful Carer's 👋🧘🏻♂️
Come and join us as we have a text-based chat with our friends at Mental Health Carers NSW about our basic rights as Carer's. We will break down some of the jargon, and share strategies with one another on some of the resources available to us as Carer's working alongside our Carer's rights. You can read more about Carer Rights here ❤️
Join us right here in this thread for a 1.5 hour text-based discussion.

I'm new here - what is Topic Tuesday?
Topic Tuesday runs from 7pm - 8:30pm AEDT monthly. Each month we focus on a different topic, with the session facilitated by a Community Manager or Moderator. Sometimes Topic Tuesday will feature a special guest, who is an expert in the topic.
The first post of the thread (this one) will give you an idea of what the topic is and what will be covered.
How do I get involved?
Topic Tuesday takes place right here! It's text-based, so no software is needed. During the session, to keep up with the latest posts hit the 'refresh' button on your browser for the latest posts (it doesn't automatically update). Keep an eye for page numbers at the top & bottom of the page, and jump to the highest page number for the most recent post.
Throughout the session, the facilitator will put questions out for you to answer, usually asking for your own experience on the topic. To contribute to the session, just hit the 'reply' button and share your thoughts. No answers are right or wrong and everyone is welcome to get involved.
What time does this event start in my timezone?

Looks like we are a bit quiet tonight on the carers side, so I shall kick off with the first Question now 🙂
As a carer, has there ever been a time where the mental health sector (hospital, doctor etc) has left you feeling restricted in your role?
How did you manage this experience? @JH_MHCN @Former-Member
