As a parent, carer or support figure for a young person experiencing mental health struggles, you play a crucial role in a young person’s journey. Whilst helping a young person seek support, apply new knowledge and practices to their everyday can be deeply rewarding, it can also be deeply challenging and have an impact on you.  

It’s important you prioritise your own well-being and take the time to look after yourself too, so you can continue providing the best care possible. If you notice signs that your own well-being may be being impact, there are a number of dedicated services that can support you.
