The ARAFMI School Holiday Program is for young carers to come along and meet other young carers in a safe and friendly environment.
The young carers are able to have some ‘time out’ from being in the carer role and have fun with other young carers who are in similar situations. The young carers participate in a variety of activities which promote social skills, confidence and challenges.
The ARAFMI School Holiday Program is free for young carers aged between 8 and 18 years old. Young carers of a friend or family member with a mental illness (whether the mental illness has or hasn’t been diagnosed) can attend the ARAFMI School Holiday Program.
