Using her personal experiences of being a carer, Ms Baum reflects that people step into a caring role with a lot of illusions and the reality of caring can be extremely challenging, personally and psychologically. Ms Baum also highlights the fact that carers can be mistreated and abused also, and that this is not spoken about much.
