a Young Carer

If you are between the ages of 5 and 25 and caring for someone with a chronic illness, disability or mental illness then we are here for you.

Young Carers often undertake many responsibilities such as
• Cooking meals
• Cleaning the house
• Looking after brothers and sisters
• Providing emotional support to family members
• Doing the shopping
• Managing finances
• Assistance with medication and personal care

While caring for someone can be a great experience, it can also be tough at times. The Raw Energy team at Carer Support is here to support Young Carers who live in the South and East metropolitan areas of Adelaide. The Raw Energy programme provides Young Carers with support to manage the pressures and responsibilities of their caring role. We provide opportunities to have fun, make new friends, learn skills and meet other Carers.
