Health and wellbeing for carers
Caring for someone can be physically and emotionally exhausting and it is important to look after yourself.
At times, you will need a break from not only your daily tasks, but also from the person you're caring for.
Remember - if you are struggling you are not alone. There is no shame in asking for help. Everyone needs a little bit of extra support at some point in their lives.
