With a Little Help...
How family and friends can support a Carer
(PDF 340kb)
Carers fulfill a valuable and important role in our community; supporting the people they love, family members and friends to live a better life.
It can be a demanding and lonely role and Carers can feel like they go it alone in an environment where few understand what it is that they actually do and what life for a Carer is like.
There is little information that helps Carers explain to their family, friends and the community what it's like for them.
This easy-to-read booklet, written by the Resthaven Carers Community Advisory Group, aims to help the reader understand how a Carer feels, the role of the Carer, and how they as a family member or friend can support them.
