Hi I'm new on here

[Guest]

Im 23 years old caring for my dad who has quite alot wrong with him. I work part time as well as caring for him to give me a bit of a break. Ive never done anything like this before, i do receive support off my local carers group, but have never actually met any carers my age.

Hi Kat and a warm welcome from me. I hope you find the forum of benefit to you, we have a few younger carers on here. Have you had a carers assessment done, this assesses your needs.
