Caring for Carers

At Caring for Carers, we understand how difficult looking after someone can be, and we’re here to help.

A carer is anyone looking after a partner, family member, or friend who is experiencing illness, disability, addiction or mental health concern. Research shows that Carers of family or friends routinely neglect their own wellbeing, choosing instead to prioritise the needs of the person they care for. We are here to make it easier for you to take care of yourself too, helping you find a better balance that is kinder to your own needs without needing to compromise your care responsibilities.

When appropriate, we can also help guide you through the process of relinquishing some aspects of your caring role. Reach out for further information, or a no pressure conversation. If sounds of interest to you and you are over the age of 18, you can ask for a carer’s assessment to look at how caring affects you, and the sort of help you might need.
