Synopsis
Caring for a loved one with mental health challenges can be one of the most difficult journeys a family faces. Beyond medical appointments, families often struggle with the everyday realities of caregiving—remembering important information, coordinating with one another, communicating with healthcare professionals, and supporting their loved one while looking after their own wellbeing.
This webinar explores how families and professionals can work together in a more coordinated, informed and compassionate way.
Lawrence Yong, founder of Dymphna.Care, will share the thinking behind the platform and how it was designed to help reduce the invisible burden of caregiving. Whether you are supporting a child, spouse, sibling or parent, this session will introduce practical ideas for caring together, while offering a first look at Dymphna.Care, an AI-assisted Care Circle platform created to help families stay connected, organised and supported.
