Program Benefits

Living with a serious illness, chronic health condition or disability has a huge impact on all the family - young people, siblings and parents have their own unique support requirements.  Livewire provides three separate online communities for these family members - a place where they can connect and share experiences with other people who understand what they are going through.

The program outcomes of Livewire are young people, siblings and parents who:

• Feel less isolated
• Receive more social support
• Are more resilient
• Feel empowered
• Learn to better overcome anxiety and stress
• Experience less bullying and predation
• Are alleviated from boredom
• Can creatively express themselves
• Feel an increased sense of belonging to the community
