\nCase study (questions 1\u20139)
\nTravis is a young carer and the primary carer for his mother, Trudi, whose condition has begun to deteriorate over the past few months. Some of Trudi\u2019s friends also provide Helpance by cooking meals and doing some of the housework. Her friends have come to know her food preferences well and together have developed a menu list for each week to ensure she eats a balanced diet, based around her preferred foods. Travis provides constant supervision and guidance for Trudi and has an almost intuitive awareness of her emotional and physical needs.
\nTravis is finding it hard to maintain his social network and keep up with his schoolwork and is thinking about dropping out of school completely. Bethany provides ongoing support to Travis and his mum, and they have begun talking about longer term options for Trudi to move into an out-of-home care situation and how Travis feels about no longer taking on the full-time caring responsibilities for her. Travis often comments that he feels a bit like someone who has grown up before his time and that many of his former friendship group simply don\u2019t understand why he can\u2019t come down to the beach with them at a moment\u2019s notice. They simply don\u2019t realise how demanding caregiving is, and why it is important that Travis spend the bulk of his time at home, in case he is needed. Lately, he has noticed that his friends have simply stopped ringing or texting him at all. Travis says that one of his friends has told him it\u2019s just not normal for a young person to be caring for his mother. Bethany listens carefully to Travis and then makes some comments to check she has understood him correctly. They then begin to talk about what he might decide to do in the future.
\nBethany shows Travis some information, application forms and eligibility criteria guidelines about an out-of-home residential setting near his home, where his mother might be able to move, and which would still allow Travis to visit frequently and be involved in her care. She explains that the service has clear guidelines about eligibility and a strong set of policies and guidelines as well as a code of conduct for workers so that Travis would know that she was being well cared for. There is an open-door policy, which means Travis could visit any time, and a strong commitment to encouraging community-based activities to maintain links with friends, family members and the wider community.
\nTravis decides to encourage his mother to consider the option of out-of-home residential care, so he meets with Trudi, Bethany and a manager from the setting to begin discussing the options.

\nCase study (questions 10\u201314)
\nJacquie is helping Max and his family to find and access some supports that will help their family members take a break from caring responsibilities and also give Max the opportunity to expand his social network and participate in some recreation activities.
\nMax\u2019s mother wants to begin casual work and do more things for herself. She would like max to be more independent so she doesn\u2019t feel like she has to be with him constantly and so he can prepare for his adult life.
\nJacquie is meeting with Max and his family for the second time to go through some service guidelines and application documents to help Max access new services. Jacqui brings the documents along with a large print version for Max to read independently, as he is becoming a more capable independent reader. She asks his mother to write down some strategies that she uses at home with Max that she finds works well, so she can share these with the new service providers, with permission from Max and his mother. Jacqui reassures Max\u2019s mother that any information she provides about Max will be confidential, and that it will only be shared to other organisations and people with her permission.
\nMax has told Jacquie that he wants to join activities that his best friend Sam, is already doing. Max said that Sam participates in a recreation outreach program each Friday night so she brings information along about this program for Max. he asks Jacquie if she can drive him to the group on his first visit but Jacquie explains that this is not possible as her organisation does not permit her to drive people in her own car and the group is run outside of her working hours. Instead, she encourages Max to think about learning to catch public transport to get to the program. His mother or Sam\u2019s mother can share the pick-up task afterwards.

\nCase study (questions 15\u201321)
\nPatrick is the primary carer for his uncle Sebastian, an elderly man who has complex care needs which are extremely time consuming. He needs full time supervision, medication management and must be turned in bed several times a night.
\nJames is a family support worker who initially created an individual support plan for Sebastian and now provides ongoing support to the family. Patrick meets with James to talk about how the family is coping at present. Patrick tells James that he is finding the caring responsibilities challenging and that sometimes he gets very cross and angry. He explains that there have been times when he has left Sebastian unattended to go to the pub nearby and play the pokies. He explains that he does not gamble a lot but that it just gives him a short break and some relief from the demands of caring. James asks what happens when he feels angry at home and Patrick tells him that one day last week, he had found himself thinking about hurting Sebastian. He did not hurt Sebastian but felt extremely ashamed of himself afterwards for even considering it. Patrick then breaks down and tells James that he is worried about whether he should continue caring for Sebastian at all.
