Practical guidance and emotional support for family carers*

Do you wish there was a safe space to talk about your caring role with someone who is there to listen?

Are you feeling overwhelmed and need to find a way to balance your caring role with your own wellbeing?

Do you feel angry, guilty or resentful, and can’t talk to anyone about it?

Are you struggling to have a conversation with your parents about finding the right care for them as they get older?

Are you worried about keeping someone safe at home and are trying to prevent a crisis before it happens?

Are you looking at care options, and want to discuss the pros and cons of care at home or residential care?

How can you find out what help is available from social services and other organisations?
