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, carers 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
