Because carers need care too
We understand that being an unpaid carer can be stressful and challenging. Your wellbeing could be impacted while you’re doing your utmost to care for an elderly relative or an in-need loved one.
Caregivers often find they have less time for themselves and other family members. They often spend so much time on caregiving duties that they end up sacrificing the things they enjoy, like hobbies or holidays. They may also have trouble balancing work schedules around caregiving.
At the Essex Wellbeing Service, we have people who can listen to your concerns and challenges and help you find support and advice relevant to your needs. We appreciate that life can be difficult, and it can be challenging to find the right support for your circumstances.
Talk to someone about your caring role
We offer a confidential phone call to discuss your situation and work with you to find the best support.
The Essex Wellbeing service provides the following advice, information and guidance to carers living in Essex:
- Information on the support that is available to you as a carer in Essex
- Information on local support groups and services in your area
- Advice that is specific to you and your situation
- A referral for a carers assessment, where appropriate
