Suffolk Family Carers - Suffolk Young Carers
While some young carers offer practical help, others may provide more emotional support. Caring for a parent with a physical condition, for example, may involve physical help such as getting dressed or doing the cooking, but caring for a parent with a mental health problem, or who misuses drugs or alcohol, involves more emotional guidance and support. Sibling carers may feel the need to keep an eye on the brother or sister they care for or worry about them when they are in school.
Our experienced and knowledgeable Team can offer:
- One to one catch ups to provide wellbeing support
- Opportunities to meet other carers and have a break from their caring role
- Workshops and programmes to build confidence and life skills
- Advice and support in school
- Short term social prescribing intervention for young carers aged 14+
- Advocacy when their voice needs to be heard
- Signposting to other relevant agencies
