OUR PASSION PROJECT
Caring for Carers
Your Write is a company started by two friends who have experienced firsthand the challenges and rewards of caregiving. Driven by our own experiences, we have grown to understand the power of words to heal, inspire and connect. We also know the sense of empowerment that comes with self-determination, having started Your Write because
our roles as caregivers didn't align with our professional lives.
Real Solutions
Self-Care
Carers told us that they needed a safe, easily accessible space to connect and catch their breath that they didn't have to drive to, or fit in around their day. They wanted friendships with people in similiar circumstances, but safety so that they didn't have to worry about adding to their stress or the stress of others.
We put our heads together and another idea was born! What if we could create a carers community online that was facilitated, in case conversations got complex? If we did that, how could we afford or sustain it? The answer was in our hands - literally!
In 2024 we had the privilege to work with carers in rural Australia to co-design a journalling tool that would help people have a 'space' of their own while caring for others.
Journalling is a practical and effective tool for self-care. It lets carers unpack their emotions safely, in their own time.
But in the process of designing the Carers Journal, the isolation people feel as carers was palpable and the obstacles that exist when trying to maintain friendships or form new bonds were huge.

The solution? If we sell the journal, we can raise the funds to create an online community. Every journal sold comes with a free online membership. This membership can be used by yourself or gifted forward.
