There is now a dedicated project for Young Adult Carers in Carmarthenshire providing support for 16-25 year olds, regardless of where they live in the county. You can get support through the YAC project as well as have the opportunity to meet others of a similar age with shared experiences so you don’t have to feel alone or isolated as many young adult carers do.
The service can offer a range of support services including:
- A dedicated keyworker providing 1-2-1 support in your home or community
- An individual action plan to help you to achieve positive changes in your life
- Partnership working with other services who can help
- Helping to liaise with education providers and employers to address any
problems - Access to a peer support network of others your age facing similar issues
- Activities, trips and events
- Signposting and information services including online resources
- Life skills groups such as confidence building and health and well being
If you are aged 16-25 years old and are helping look after someone, please call them
on 0300 0200 002 or email [email protected] for more information
