Considerations for family carers
Acknowledgement and your emotions
Understand the significance of your contribution and the potential impact on your life together. Feelings of anger, resentment, guilt, and helplessness are normal. Try not to suppress them; find healthy ways to process and cope. Accept that there will be good days and bad days.
Live your life and take a break
Caring for the person you love can easily take over. Make a conscious effort to maintain your own hobbies, social life, and interests. Time out is crucial to avoid burnout. Even short periods of time away can make a big difference. Explore what other support options are available from the start.
Prioritise your health
Register with your GP as a family carer. Attend your own medical appointments, eat healthily, stay hydrated and try to get enough sleep. Remember you are also entitled to a free flu jab annually. Physical activity and being outdoors can help manage stress and improve your overall well-being.
