Carer support interventions offer emotional, practical, and psychological support to people who are caring for loved ones with mental or physical health needs. They help carers build resilience, manage stress, and feel better equipped to look after both others — and themselves.
These interventions are for anyone providing unpaid care or emotional support to someone else — whether a family member, partner, friend, or neighbour. Carers may be supporting someone with:
A mental health condition (e.g. depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder)
Neurodivergence (e.g. autism, ADHD)
Dementia or cognitive decline
Long-term physical illness or disability
Substance use or recovery challenges
Complex trauma or personality-related difficulties
Support is especially valuable for carers experiencing stress, isolation, burnout, or emotional overwhelm. It’s also helpful during crisis periods, care transitions, or when navigating systems like social care, education, or benefits.
