Support for Carers

You play a crucial role as a carer of a person with a disability. Providing essential care, emotional support, and assistance with daily living tasks. Caring for someone with a disability can be a challenging and demanding task, both physically and emotionally.

You may experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and exhaustion, which can affect your overall health and well-being.

By providing you with the support you need, we can help you to maintain your own health and well-being, while also improving the quality of care you provide to your loved one.

One of the primary reasons carers need support is to prevent burnout. Caring for someone with a disability can be a 24/7 job, and carers often have very little time for themselves. This can lead to high levels of stress and exhaustion, which can have a negative impact on your mental and physical health. Support can help you to take a break and recharge your batteries, reducing the risk of burnout.

You may also require support to help navigate the complex healthcare and social services systems. Disability services can be difficult to access and understand, and you may find that you need help to get the right services for your loved one.

Support can also help you to build your knowledge and skills, enabling you to provide better care for your loved ones and improve their quality of life.
