You're a young carer if you're under 18 and help to look after a relative with a disability, illness, mental health condition, or drug or alcohol problem. If you're a young carer, you probably look after one of your parents or care for a brother or sister. We will ask you if you are a young carer. If we don't, please let us know and we will advise you where to get help and support.
If you are a young carer and want to talk to someone, you can speak to any member of the ward team. You can also contact our Carers Support Team by emailing sft.carersupport@nhs.net or by calling 01722 429044.
You can also contact Youth Action – visit their website: www.communityfirst.org.uk/yaw/ or call 01380 722 475
For more information on support available see Carers - Help and Support
