Dream Up Supports for Young People

Help us dream up supports for young people!

Mental Health Carers NSW is plans to apply for grants so that we can fund activities and supports for young people who live with and/or care for someone who has a mental illness. This includes young people who live with or care for a parent, sibling, partner, relative, kin, family member or close friend.

This is your chance to help us design your dream activities and supports. Please be as creative as you like!
