Caring for a loved one is rewarding as well as challenging . Having the time, opportunity and space to talk about shared experiences can give us the realisation we are not alone in our stories and emotions .
Peer support is known to be powerful by hearing each other and providing encouragement to one another as we are playing an important part in someone’s life and society more widely. Information sharing supports with problem-solving.
