Caring for the Carer: Your Mental Health Matters! | ##mentalhealth

Today marks a big milestone in achieving my long time goal to provide a safe place where carers can be able to share their heart warming stories without feeling judged.
Today, 22nd December 2023, we launched the 'We Talk Care' platform to the public and this means everyone can benefit from the many years of thought and time invested to build bring this idea to life.
The journey has been very eventful for me, I have met and spoken to many carers, of whom we have shared both heart-breaking and joyful moments as we reflected on their caregiving journeys.
Today marks the start of a new era. A time where, I invite you all to help grow this community. A community with a cause that touches or will touch so many families.
Let us join hands and make this a safe space that uplifts one another and more importantly let us talk about care. It all starts with one sharing their story.
Joe Ndilla - Founder We Talk Care

It is the soulful narratives of caregivers that inspire the 'We Talk Care' community.

Join us on a journey of compassion, resilience, and shared experiences as caregivers unveil their heartfelt stories.

Let's celebrate a community of unsung heroes who weave love into every moment. 💜

If you provide help or assistance to a friend or family member you may be an unpaid or hidden carer.

Caring can be physical, practical, emotional and psychological. It can be a phone call, help with prescriptions or finances, household duties, etc.

You don’t have to live with the person you care for.
