I see a chiropractor every week just to remain stable and able to care for my disabled son. This week I have had to go twice and fear that more may be needed. It has been a busy and stressful time and my body has suffered.

This is a fact that we hear regularly from our membership. We see the direct impact of caring on rural women’s own health and wellness and the lack of value placed on the vital care they provide.
#CostofCaring
Having to give up work/cut hours due to unpaid caring has significant consequences for women’s' health, wellbeing and finances. It was a big contributor to experiences of poverty even before the cost of living crisis made things worse for many carers.

Caregiving costs an average of $7,000/year out-of-pocket. Providing financial planning support to caregivers can alleviate this burden. #costofcaring #financialsupport

1/2 Caring for someone can significantly impact a #youngcarers health and well-being. Whether it's physically or mentally, young carers often neglect their own health and well-being as a #CostOfCaring. We help young people recognise the importance of their health and well-being
@WeAreCarers Dear @jaq421 - you are so articulate and wise on this issue of the #CostOfCaring. Care to comment my friend? My fumbling answer is LOTS & LOTS.

Many young people we work with struggle with school as a direct #CostOfCaring. Whether it is attendance, concentration or managing the workload, we work hard to help schools so that they can support pupils who are #youngcarers - Every child deserves the right to an education 💙
