Carer support groups
Often the best source of support is other carers in a similar situation to yourself. Many of Headway's Groups and Branches provide support group meetings and one-to-one support for carers. These services are particularly helpful as they provide peer support from others in similar situations.
You can search for your local Headway in the In your area section, and get details of all the ways in which Headway can help in the Supporting you section.
