Do I Care?

Many children and young people either don’t know or don’t realise that they are young carers. This means they may miss out on guidance and support that could make the world of difference to them.

If you think you might be a young carer there are lots of people who you can talk to; family, friends, a support worker, a school teacher or the person you care for. There are also organisations like ourselves that can support you and it is so simple to make a referral to young carers services to ensure you receive the support that you deserve to continue living your life and reaching your potential alongside your caring role.  

There are some fabulous videos in the Recommended Resources section to help you to understand your caring role and to realise that you are not alone.

The Young Carers have shared some resources that they found really helped them to understand their role as a Carer and to navigate the feelings that being a Carer creates. 

We know that being a young carer is a really positive thing; you are simply amazing! It can also be incredibly difficult - the following external links are here to reassure you that there are people here who can help and remind you that it is ok to ask for help when you need it.
