At Carmarthenshire Young Carers Service there is someone who young carers can talk to who understands; can link them with other young people in the same situation and can talk to them and their parent/family member about other people who can help. Support offered includes focused 1-1 support, peer group support (youth club and holiday activities), advocacy and referrals on to other agencies for any family member.
The Carmarthenshire Young Carers Service supports young people who care for a parent (occasionally a sibling) due to a physical or learning disability, illness, poor mental health or substance misuse. The service supports young people where their caring role is impacting on either their education, social or emotional health.
For information, advice and support please e-mail Carmarthenshire Young Carers Service or phone 01554 742630.
The Carers Information Service based in Llanelli also provide a wide range of information, can call them on 0300 0200 002 or if you’d prefer visit them at The Palms Unit 3, 96 Queen Victoria Road, Llanelli, SA15 2TH.
