Young Carers Action Day

Happy Young Carers Action Day!
This day is dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges that young and young adult carers face and the support they need.
A young carer is someone under the age of 18 who helps to look after a family member with a chronic illness, mental health condition, disability, or substance abuse problems. For example, a sibling or a parent. A young adult carer is very similar to a young carer but refers to someone between the age of 18-25.
Caring will look different to everyone depending on their age and who they care for.
The Mix has a young carers page which you can check out for support and information.
This year’s theme is Making Time for Young Carers. So, let us know - how do you look after your mental health as a young carer?
If you’re not a young carer yourself, share your best self-care advice and tips on how to make time for yourself below…
