This easy to use resource pack is designed for young people aged 6-16 who have a caring responsibility for someone at home. It is best used during one-to-one support sessions. Topics covered include: caring and emergencies, school and friends, personal health, support at home and ways of coping, identifying feelings, self-esteem and self image. By increasing the young person's self-knowledge and recognition of feelings as well as offering practical suggestions and information, this pack enables the young carer to review their own situation, to feel more in control and to come to their own decisions regarding any change that might benefit them.
