Looking after yourself
Make a self-referral for support in your role as a carer.

The idea of caring for yourself when you are caring for someone else might seem a bit strange. But it really is true that unless you look after yourself, you’ll find it even tougher to look after them.
Support from The Carers Centre can help you take back your independence, and make sure you get the right help at the right time.
