Young carers from migrant and refugee backgrounds: recognising contributions and supporting mental health and wellbeing.

Chief Investigator: Dr Moira Walsh [Early Career Researcher]

Funding Amount : $39,997

Recipient: Flinders University

Overview: Young carers are often not centred in research despite their significant contributions. This is especially true of young carers from migrant and refugee backgrounds. This research will elevate these voices, bringing a better understanding of their experiences, how their caring roles impact their mental wellbeing and what supports are needed.
