  • Summary

  • In this bonus episode, we speak to Lisa Reakes about her experience as a parent carer and her involvement in Dr. Siobhan O'Dwyer's research on parent carers' mental health struggles.

    We discuss her role in the study, what she learned from it and what changes she hopes it will bring. We also cover what life as a parent carer is like, her endless fight to get her daughter the help she needs, and the toll it has taken on her own health.

    For any inquiries or to suggest future guests, please email us at: wearecarers@gmail.com. Until next time!
