Description

Your siblings have gone AWOL so it’s all on you — all the appointments, decisions and physical care. And if you’re a woman, it seems everyone thinks this is a responsibility that’s yours and yours alone. How do you navigate the emotional strain when other family members aren’t stepping up to help?   

Featuring: 

Dr Jenny Brown, family systems therapist and mental health social worker   

Rohini Balram, researcher at Western Sydney University and contributor to the research for Carers NSW   

Shevonne Hunt, member of the sandwich generation
