What are you looking for today

  • Carer wellbeing refers to the overall physical, mental, and emotional health of individuals who provide care to family members or friends.

  • Carers often find it hard to look after their own health and wellbeing due to the demanding nature of their caring duties.

  • They experience physical and emotional exhaustion, guilt about taking time for themselves, and often lack access to support and resources.

  • For carers, looking after themselves is often their last priority.
