Are you a young carer?
You might be helping to look after:
-
your mum or dad
-
your brother or sister
-
someone with an illness or disability
-
someone with an alcohol or drug problem
If you are a young carer you can ask for an assessment of your needs|. This assessment will look at how caring for someone affects you now and how it might affect your future. An assessment could help you get some support.
If you would like to discuss your situation please contact your local social work office|, the Children with Disabilities Team|, or The Princess Royal Trust Falkirk & Clackmannanshire Carers Centre|.
