As a carer it is vital that you care for yourself, so that you can continue to care for others. Here are a few tips on staying healthy.
Caring for a family member or friend can be rewarding. For most carers, being there when a loved one needs you is a core value and something you wish to provide.

Financial difficulties may also contribute to stress.
