What is this section?

This section covers some of the issues that may affect you as a carer. In this section you will find information about where you can get support.

Questionnaire: Are you getting enough support as a carer?

Many carers give of themselves until there is very little left for their own lives and interests, which can lead to increased stress and accelerated burn-out from such an intense lifestyle. Getting enough support is critical for carers to do their jobs well, stay healthy and remain motivated and dedicated to their chosen path.

To help you reflect on your support system TheCarer has put together a questionnaire at www.thecarer.co.uk. Answer each question, then count your “yes” and “no” answers. Match your “yes” total to the explanations at the end to better determine if you are getting enough support as a carer.
