Young carers organisation Little Dreamers, has launched the ‘Dreamers Hub’ designed to give virtual solutions support during COVID-19. This new interactive community comprises resources, forums, games and content to help improve mental health and increase social opportunities for young carers.
The hub is said to be particularly helpful for those in remote and regional areas, unable to access face-to-face programs. It also provides educational support by experts to conduct video classes, live forums and contribute articles. Content includes money matters, study skills and career guidance.
According to Little Dreamers CEO, Maddy Buchner many young carers are facing increased anxiety due to the threat of the virus coupled with increased social isolation and higher demand in their caring roles.
“At this time more than ever, we are seeing the importance of virtual programs and remote solutions, ensuring our most vulnerable have access to the support they need without having to leave home,” she said.
The Ecstra Foundation has partnered with Little Dreamers to deliver the Dreamers Hub financial literacy series for the next six months starting with the Money Matters module launched on August 12.
