🌟 Young Carers: Support,
Advice & Opportunities
Being a young carer means taking on responsibilities that many people your age might not have. But you don’t have to do it alone. At Vibe, we’re here to support you, help you take a break, and connect you with others who understand what it’s like.
💡 Support & Advice
If you're struggling, there are people ready to help. Here are some ways to find support:
🗣️ Talk to Someone You Trust
Your feelings and well-being matter. Whether it’s a teacher, a youth worker, or a family member, don’t be afraid to ask for help.
📌 Know Your Rights
Young carers have the right to support with education, mental health, and breaks from caring. You can ask your school or local authority about a Young Carer’s Assessment.
📍 External Support & Local Services
In addition to Vibe’s support, there are external providers who can offer help tailored to your needs:
Barnardo’s Young Carers – Practical and emotional support for young carers.
Action for Children – Support services for young people, including young carers.
NHS Carers Support – Health and well-being advice for carers.
