ABSTRACT
There is international evidence that informal or unpaid carers have poorer mental health and experience higher levels of isolation and stress than others in the population. Identifying approaches that promote carer well-being is critical to supporting this essential role in the community. This study presents the findings of the evaluation of a brief carer intervention designed to improve carers' well-being delivered by a community service organisation. The manualised programme provided information and psycho-education to adult carers in five regional locations in Victoria, Australia. Positive change was noted in carers' knowledge of good mental health and well-being, supports, and social connectedness.
