Funded Activity Summary

Blindness related to late age-related macular degeneration impacts not only the patient but also their family carers, placing them at risk of poor health outcomes. Together with our partners (Macular Disease Foundation Australia; Carers NSW), we will implement and evaluate a comprehensive support service that aims to help family caregivers by enhancing their psychosocial skills, so that they can manage their stress more effectively and better cope with the challenges associated with caregiving.
