Interview with Jaycee La Bouche – Carer Activism series

Welcome back to the third in the series of carer activist interviews by Matthew McKenzie. These videos help not only bring awareness to what unpaid carers can do when helping others, but can also allow carers to learn about carer empowerment.

For this interview I spoke to Jaycee La Bouch fellow supporter of Carers UK and founder of Zen Laughter yoga therapy. Jaycee is not only a carer, but also finds ways to support other carers through the power of mental wellbeing. Every time I meet Jaycee, she always has a smile on her face.

Unpaid carers can go through many challenges that it can be so easy for them to neglect their own mental health and wellbeing. Watch the video of the challenges Jaycee went through and how she found the power to help others.
