Big Dreamers

Created from lived experience and informed by qualitative research, the Big Dreamers Personal Development Program brings together a small group of Young Carers aged 13 to 17 over five months.

The program helps Young Carers build confidence and resilience, develop new skills, discover their strengths and form meaningful connections with others who understand their experiences.

The program includes:

  • A welcome event
  • Monthly workshops
  • One or more overnight retreats
  • Mentoring
  • Regular check-ins
  • A graduation celebration

This program is absolutely worth it. It has helped me to become more confident, more outgoing and understand myself emotionally.

The Big Dreamers program has given me time out of my caring role to hang out with other Young Carers in a safe environment where we can all relate to each other and where I can meet other Young Carers that are going through similar situations to mine.

The program has made me become more open about my caring role and it has made me realise that I am not alone and there are many people who are there supporting me along my caring journey.
