Sometimes we need to provide support to a relative of friend who cannot manage alone. This "caring" role is additional to the relationship we have with each other.
Although often rewarding, it can bring many stresses, both physical and emotional.
When we take on this unpaid role the term "carer" is used.
A carer will provide practical and emotional support for someone who cannot manage alone through age, illness, mental distress, physical or learning disability, alcohol or substance misuse.
This website will provide you with useful information and links to support you in this caring role.
