The Sitting Room for Carers
where we connect, share, and have important conversations
Welcome!
The Sitting Room for Carers is more than just a discussion space... it's a community designed for you.
Whether you're feeling burnt out, over it, and unsure if you can keep on keepin on, or you're looking to connect with some other like-minded people on similar path, you've come to the right place!
This is an online sitting room, think cozy couches, soft lighting, a sturdy coffee table, some obscure book no one has ever read... a welcoming space where carers are seen, heard, understood, and valued. A space where you can learn to turn trauma knowledge into every day care, and feel genuinely supported while doing it.
In the Sitting Room you will:
- Meet other carers
- Reflect on learning
- Share your stories and experiences
- Connect with facilitators
- Ask and answer questions
You are not on this journey alone! Join the conversation, expand your wisdom, and be part of a community that truly cares.
See you inside!

FAQ

How Do You Ensure Safety In The Sitting Room
We have a few rules in the room like taking care of our own mental health, not using the real names of other people we're talking about, and being kind with each other. We're all on this journey together! Please check out the rules as soon as you join to help us keep everyone safe.
-
What if I don't have anything to talk about right now?
Not a problem! Many people learn through simply hearing about other's experiences. Some love to share while others love to observe. There is space here for everyone.

Will What I Share Here Be Reported To My Agency or The Department?
Robin does monitor this community and participate in discussion to ensure everyone's safety. Our primary purpose is to learn and make connections but we know we're all human and we all make mistakes from time to time. If a trainer feels there is a risk to someone's safety we'll always try to get in touch with the person first to talk about it.
