I want to share some good news with you. Because of your support, more young carers are finding connection, confidence and a sense of possibility.
Dee moved from hiding her struggles to finding community and a pathway into social work through Satellite. Madeline, once deeply lonely, shared, “I think I may have found my people.” Today, 88% of young carers report improved wellbeing and stronger social connections after attending Satellite programs.
That’s something to celebrate — and it’s because of you. Thank you.

In reality, the number is much higher, as many young people take on caring roles that often go unnoticed or unrecorded.
Your donation today will help these children and young people impacted by family mental health challenges find the connection and support they need to thrive.
YES! I’d like to give a gift to help more young carers today.
