How We Can Help:
Supporting Young Carers
Balancing caregiving with everyday life, school, training, or work can be incredibly challenging and may impact your mental health, often without you even realizing it. At Unseen Heroes, we offer specialized programmes designed to support young carers like you. Our programmes are grounded in Holistic Healing, helping you to understand and manage your mental health and emotional well-being so you can thrive in all areas of your life.
Te Ara Mārama Programme:
Finding Your Path Together
The Te Ara Mārama Programme at Unseen Heroes is all about creating a safe space where young carers feel truly understood and valued. We know that caregiving can be isolating, so our programme connects you with peers and mentors who share similar experiences, helping you build meaningful relationships and find a sense of belonging.
Te Ara Mārama is the start of your healing journey, where you will discover your individuality, learn tools to support your mental health and emotional well-being, whilst gaining support with your dreams for the future. At Unseen Heroes, we're dedicated to helping you feel supported, valued, and ready to thrive.
Young Leaders Programme:
Nurturing Growth and Leadership
The Young Leaders Programme is a special next step for young carers who have completed the Te Ara Mārama programme. We understand that caring responsibilities continue and that healing is a journey, so this programme is designed to offer deeper support and tools for ongoing mental well-being.
In this programme, you’ll build on what you’ve learned by focusing on:
-
Advanced Mental Health Tools: Gain more in-depth skills and strategies to manage the ongoing challenges of caregiving.
-
Personal Growth: Work on nurturing self-love and self-worth with the help of our holistic healer, supporting your journey as you grow.
-
Leadership and Mentoring: Develop into inspiring leaders and mentors who can guide and support the next generation of young carers.
The Young Leaders Programme is here to help you continue your growth, strengthen your leadership skills, and make a positive impact on others. We’re dedicated to supporting you every step of the way as you become a beacon of hope and strength for those who follow.
How we can help Schools and Services: Partnering for Young Carers
At Unseen Heroes, we work closely with schools and services to identify young carers and ensure they receive the support they need. We offer guidance and resources to help you recognize young carers within your community, raise awareness about their unique challenges, and refer them to our tailored programs. By partnering with us, you can play a crucial role in providing these young individuals with the support and opportunities they deserve. Together, we can make a lasting impact on their lives.
