Fay will be the keynote speaker at this years Family & Carer Mental Health conference. This Carer Day aims to provide carers of people with a mental illness a chance to focus on themselves for a day. Presentations on the day will include a wide variety of topics but all will hopefully contribute to make the caring journey a little easier. Speakers will provide information about programs that are in place to support carers, measures the NSW Police are taking to educate frontline police in mental health issues, and provide first hand experiences of their journey with mental illness or as a carer of someone with a mental illness. Carers will also be exposed to strategies and techniques that will hopefully help them manage the stress in their lives more effectively. Contact Gerald Haslinger on 02 88428289.
