Support and information for children and young people's mental health and emotional wellbeing
Young carer wellbeing
A young carer is a child or young person who looks after someone with a physical or mental health condition. A young carer does not necessarily do any physical caring, but may be carrying an additional emotional load. Young carers may need specific advice and help to ensure that they are able to look after their own wellbeing.
