What to expect
Being a carer can take its toll on your own physical, emotional and mental health. Making Space can provide support if you are age 18+ and providing unpaid care for anyone living with a physical or mental health condition, or other support needs.
Services they provide include:
- One-to-one support with a named support worker, allowing you to build up a relationship with them without the need to keep repeating “your story”
- Carer-led groups, coffee mornings and information sessions held at a range of locations across the county
- Identifying services you and the person you care for may need and signposting to other services, organisations and charities
- Information on mental health conditions
- Liaison with other professionals on your behalf, with your permission
More information
