March Male Carers Month - Interview with David and Richar

Welcome to the second interview in our March Male Carers Month series of interviews and workshops supporting the mental wellbeing of male carers. Today's interview is with David and Richard. David is Richard's carer, but Richard himself has also been a carer, both as a young carer and as an adult. They share very honest and open experiences about being carers and also being a cared-for-person, which is very insightful and helpful to understand how it can be different for male carers when interacting with social care, and professional bodies, say nurses and doctors, and professions like that, but also as male gay carers. It's a different dynamic again, and it's a very interesting interview. So, please do listen, and I hope you enjoy...
