Are you over 18 and providing unpaid support to someone who is ill, disabled, frail, or living with mental health or substance misuse challenges?

 

You might be helping with:

  • Physical care – lifting, moving or helping someone get around

  • Emotional support – listening, comforting or calming

  • Medical support – managing or giving medication

  • Personal care – washing, bathing or toileting

  • Household tasks – cooking, cleaning, shopping or laundry

If so, you are an adult family carer - and we’re here to support you

Why Might You Need Support?

Caring for someone can impact many areas of your life. You might find yourself needing support with:

Health and Wellbeing

Caring can be physically and emotionally draining. You might feel tired, anxious, overwhelmed or isolated, and miss the life you had before.

Social Life and Friendships

It can be hard to keep up with friends or take time for yourself when your caring role is demanding and unpredictable.
