It's supposed to be #BlueMonday but we prefer the @samaritans.bsky.social's #BrewMonday ✨ For millions of #UnpaidCarers globally, caring is part of their daily lives. Their vital role can be demanding, both physically & emotionally. That’s why support matters & it can start with a conversation 💬

Imagine a world where parents & carers are given the support they need & imagine that support being delivered at scale That is what we aspire to & it was also the shared feeling in the room yesterday at the #GlobalCaregiverForum, organised by the WHO, UNICEF & the Government of Spain

Our Development Director, Ruth Patil, is in #Madrid right now for the #GlobalCaregiverForum, joining practitioners, academics & policymakers from across the world to talk about what #caregivers & especially from our perspective, #ParentCarers of disabled children really need. Hear more from her 👇🏽

As we ease into the new year with a renewed sense of purpose, millions of #UnpaidCarers all over the world continue caring for their loved ones without a break. That’s why we’re grateful to everyone who stands with carers whether it's by donating, sharing our work or helping amplify carers’ voices.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay we’re thinking about #UnpaidCarers - mothers, fathers, siblings & others - who look after their loved ones, often without any recognition or support. Supporting their #MentalHealth is crucial. Last week, we explored this in our webinar w/ Catalyst Now 💜🧡

So much depends on how we view unpaid care. When it is seen as family duty, we take it for granted & make it invisible. As a result, #UnpaidCarers become invisible too. Katy Styles, Founder of the We Care Campaign (@wecarecampaign.bsky.social), highlights this in our recent #HumansCare interview.

On #WorldCerebralPalsyDay, we celebrate those with cerebral palsy and the unpaid family carers - mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings - who stand alongside them 💜🧡
