Caring for someone with a mental illness can be quite changeable, as sometimes they may be well for long periods until they become unwell again. Responding to the changing needs of the person you care for can mean that life is periodically unsettled and stressful.
Carer Support is funded to provide specific support for those caring for someone with mental illness. Basically, this means there is a team dedicated to your respite and support needs. They will assess your individual situation in order to provide the most responsive and relevant support possible and guide you through the list of available services.
