For carers and family

Common question


Question:	I want to join a group that meets once a week and have arranged alternative care for Mum, but she says I am being selfish. Should I continue?
Answer:	It is important you have breaks and support. The change may also be good for your mother. The National Carer Counselling Program or the Carers' Association in your State have people you can talk to about difficult decisions such as this one.
