このコンテンツについて

Melissa and Jane have been caring for their daughters for over 20 years, helping them to lead hugely successful lives. But they've made some mistakes along the way, and learnt a lot. Or, learnt the hard way.

They've been tired, burnt out, broke, ignored, isolated - yet still expected to keep going.


Let's Take Care is their way of helping other carers of disabled children feel less alone - and more equipped to cope with the realities of care that no one talks about.


In each episode they'll talk about the emotional and mental weight of lifelong care - what it's like to fight the system constantly and how to survive practically, emotionally, physically.

They'll be sharing what they wish they knew 20 years ago ... and hoping to make you laugh as well.
