Feylyn Lewis

Feylyn Lewis är doktorand på universitetet i Birmingham i Storbritannien. Hennes forskning handlar om vad det innebär att vara barn som anhörig och vilket stöd man kan behöva när man blir vuxen. När hon var liten fick hennes bror ta hand om henne och senare blev hon själv vårdgivare åt sin mamma som har en fysisk funktionsnedsättning. De erfarenheterna har hon nytta av i sin forskning. Feylyn är också legitimerad psykoterapeut.

Feylyn Lewis is currently a Ph. D. student at the University of Birmingham in the UK. As a young child in the US, she was taken care of by her brother, and as she grew, she also became a family caregiver for her mother. Her experience of being a young carer led her to frame her professional interest and research focus. She is studying what it means to be a young carer and how they can be supported as they become adults. Feylyn is also a mental health counselor.
