Emotional support
Looking after someone with a disability, long-term illness or addiction can affect many areas of your life, and you may be experiencing a mix of emotions.
Sometimes it can feel relentless, like there's no time to stop and take care of yourself. We're here to help you with the emotional impact of caring.
