"Being a Young Carer comes with a lot of thoughts, some positive and some negative.
Before the first [Big Dreamers] workshop, I had a lot of negative thoughts. I was worried I wouldn`t fit in or that I may not make any friends.
As soon as I arrived, my negative thoughts were gone. Everyone was so welcoming and inclusive, and I felt like I already knew everyone...I had the opportunity to show everyone a side of me most wouldn`t have seen and I really loved getting to open up to everyone on Retreat.
I felt so loved and supported, and it`s rare to feel that way when opening up about your caring role. Coming out of this program I have learnt more about myself, have gained self confidence and become more resilient."

We were so excited to launch Money Explorer at Financial Counselling Victoria`s carer event, Priceless: The Unpaid Contribution ππͺβ¨
The event was a great opportunity to connect with organisations and carers, and share resources on financial literacy and wellbeing.
In collaboration with Financial Counselling Victoria, Money Explorer series is a fun, free, and interactive online tool that helps carers and young people understand their finances and make informed financial decisions π°π
It covers topics such as budgeting, debt management, superannuation, and more.
We`re so grateful to Financial Counselling Victoria for hosting the event and for giving us the opportunity to launch this incredible new project to the world! π
If you`re a carer and you`re interested in taking off into the Moneyverse and improving your financial literacy, visit www.dreamershub.com.au/moneyexplorer/ π
