Young Carers
Do you help someone who has an illness, a disability, a mental health issue or a drug or alcohol problem? Then you might be a young carer and there is help and support available to you.
Many young carers tell us that caring can be a great thing to do - that they're proud of who they are and what they do and that they've built up a whole swag of useful skills. Sometimes though young carers say that caring can affect how they feel, how much time they get to spend with friends, doing schoolwork or holding down a job, and that often they need some help.
