Caregiver & Parent Wellbeing
Support for the supporters Because your wellbeing matters too.
Behind every person receiving care, is someone doing the caring and too often they’re running on empty. At Horizons of Hope, we know the physical and emotional toll caregiving can take. That’s why we offer practical, thoughtful support for the parents, carers, and family members who make everything possible.
We understand that when you’re the one holding everything together, it can be hard to ask for help. That’s where we step in with care, empathy, and a flexible approach designed around your life, not just your loved one’s needs.
Our caregiver wellbeing services recognise your emotional needs, your physical load, and your need for connection. Whether you’re feeling isolated, overwhelmed, burned out or just need someone to listen, we’re here for you.
How We Support You:
• Space to be heard – Empathetic, non-judgmental support from someone who truly understands the emotional load of caregiving
• Help around the home – Practical assistance to reduce daily overwhelm so you can focus on what matters
• Respite that restores – Quality time-out so you can rest, reset, and breathe
• Advocacy backup – Trusted support when attending school meetings, service provider appointments, or navigating NDIS processes
• Connection and confidence – Encouragement to reconnect with your identity, interests, and personal goals outside the caregiving role
Why It Matters
We often hear from parents who feel like they’ve lost themselves in the whirlwind of caring for a loved one with complex needs. Horizons of Hope exists to help you reclaim moments of peace, confidence, and joy, even when life feels heavy.
Melissa brings both lived experience and a professional background in trauma-informed care, neurodiversity, and family services. She understands what it’s like to walk in your shoes, and she’s built Horizons of Hope to be the support she wishes she had.
Whether it’s an hour to yourself, a shoulder to lean on, or someone to help you feel like “you” again, Horizons of Hope is here.
