Working caregivers are ordinary people trying to balance work and caregiving demands. If you are finding it challenging to balance work with your caregiving role, you are not alone. More than two thirds of caregivers are employed and many face the challenges of balancing both roles, often resulting in increased stress, financial difficulties, isolation and an impact physical and emotional health.

The toolkit includes ideas to manage your caregiving role, options to explore flexibility and support at work, tips for having the discussion with your employer about solutions, and caring for yourself and your own mental health.
