Are you ayoung adultcarer?
The support I get from my YAC adviser in college is
brilliant. I can easily talk to him about what is going on at home and he really cares
about how I am feeling
Thank you for helping me through difficult times and
helping me become who I am today
Sometimes when you’re a carer, you don’t think of yourself but with YACs you can work on
yourself...it helps you see possibilities rather
than worries
Since being on the ‘Be Your Own Best Friend’
course I have had a driving lesson. I had
been putting this off. I also make myself talk to people now. It feels ok Suffolk Carers Limited Registered Charity No.1069937

We support:
Young adult carers (YACs)A young person, who is caring for or emotionally affected by one or more family members who have a physical or mental illness, disability or misuse drugs or alcohol.
Sibling carersA young person who is affected by a brother or sister’s disability, illness or additional need.
Caring for a family member isn’t always ‘doing something’ to help. The impact of caring for someone can often lead to young people feeling angry, isolated, or they may worry about the person or what is happening at home.
