Are you looking after a partner, child, friend or relative who is related to a Vetran and needs support because of frailty, disability, a health condition, mental illness, or alcohol/substance misuse? Is this care unpaid? Caring can take its toll both mentally and physically. It is possible that your own health may suffer because of your caring responsibilities. But Veteran Families is here to help. We have a range of services to support you in your caring role – they are free, and confidential. And we can signpost you to further sources of help and information. Find out more about all our support. Sadly, caring can affect your finances. Find out more about the financial support available. There’s a whole load of practical issues to consider as a carer – from support from social services, to transport matters and work. Read more on our practical support pages It’s so important that you look after yourself as a carer. Read about breaks, emotions, your health, and more in our wellbeing section. As well as supporting you, we help carers have their say on matters important to them – to help improve the lives of all carers. We also have specialist support for young carers (under 18) and young adult carers (18-24) too.
