1. Workshop hosted by Sarah Jones and Shoshana Jones will take place during either a morning or afternoon session:
Title โ Missed Opportunities for Change โ Why a Holistic Approach to Supporting Young Carers Matters
This workshop aims to provide a first-hand account of the complexity of the experience of young carers and the missed opportunities for family support. Sharing a case study of two young carers that spans over 20 years, the audience will hear from young carersโ perspectives of what they needed from services at pivotal points in their caring experience. Focussing on the required support by education, third sector, social care, and health care services, the workshop will allow the audience to collaborate and discuss practical ways that they could impact young carers with similar experiences, using a holistic approach to support. The workshop will also explore themes of bereavement and grief, caring for siblings and parents, and the importance of transitions for young carers and young adult carers.โ
