Join Patty Kikos as she delves into the inspiring journey of Louise, who stepped into the role of a young carer at just 13, navigating the challenges of her mother's grief and her brother's sorrow. Louise's story doesn't end there; she later became a devoted carer to her two wonderfully unique neurodivergent children. Now, as a compassionate counselor, Louise empowers other carers, sharing invaluable techniques to help them self-regulate and heal from their own traumas. This interview is a testament to resilience, love, and the power of support. GUEST:Louise Davis - www.carergateway.gov.au SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow The Benevolent Society on InstagramFollow Carer Gateway on FacebookFollow The Benevolent Society on Facebook CREDITS:Host – Patty KikosProducers – Patty Kikos and John HrescSound Engineer – John Hresc GET IN TOUCH:Carer Gateway is proud to offer emotional and practical services and support for carers with the aim of making your life easier. You can call us on 1800 422 737 to find out more about peer support groups, counselling, coaching, online skills courses, tailored support packages, emergency respite, other government supports, as well as tips and information, or visit our online home at www.carergateway.gov.auGot some questions or thoughts?
