Welcome to the Birmingham Young Carers Service!
We know that being a Young Carer can sometimes feel overwhelming. You’re juggling school, friendships, and responsibilities at home that most people your age don’t have. We’re here to help you manage it all, making sure you have the support, time, and space to enjoy your life while caring for someone close to you.How We Support You:
We understand that caring for someone can sometimes feel like a lot to handle. That’s why we’re here to help you find balance and make time for yourself. Our service offers:
- Group Support: Meet other Young Carers, share what you’re going through, and make friends with people who really understand.
- Emotional Well-Being Activities: Take part in activities that help you relax, de-stress, and feel good about yourself.
- Fun Breaks and Activities: Get away from your responsibilities with fun day trips, workshops, and activities just for you!
What is the Birmingham Young Carers Service?
We’re here to make sure that if you’re under 18 and looking after someone at home, you get the support you need. Whether you’re helping care for a family member with physical or mental health issues, disabilities, or other challenges, our service is all about helping you manage school, life, and caring.
What You Can Expect:
- Personalised Support: We’ll work with you to make sure you get the right support to help you in your caring role. That might mean help with school, or just someone to talk to when things feel tough.
- Working with Your School: We’ll work with your teachers to help them understand what you’re dealing with at home and make sure you’re getting the right support.
- Involving Your Family: We don’t just support you—we work with your family too, helping everyone get the help they need so that you don’t have to do everything on your own.
