Welcome

The caring journey, although a deeply rewarding one, can also be very challenging.

The Caring Way, a new initiative by Merri Health Carer Gateway, aims to build community awareness through the experiences of carers themselves.

In The Caring Way you will read about carers and their stories, supports that have helped others, how to navigate carer services and much more. We also hope to give you some light-hearted moments and entertaining reading.

In this edition you will find information on some events you can attend during Carers Week, details on our new carer podcast and how you can listen to win, some helpful articles and more!

We hope you enjoy reading The Caring Way. If you would like to receive

future editions via email, simply email [email protected]

Kind regards,

Heleni Bagiartakis, Interim State Manager Merri Health Carer Gateway
