Do you look after someone or provide someone with unpaid care? This could be a family, member, friend or neighbour who would not be able to manage without your help on a day to day basis.
If you answered yes to the above questions then it is highly likely you are classed as a carer without realising it and there is a lot of help and support you are entitled to, to help you to help others.
What is a carer?
A carer is someone of any age or gender who is there to help a family member, friend or neighbour with their emotional, financial and physical wellbeing just to name a few. Being a carer can restrict people on a day to day basis which can impact their mental health.
