FAMILY/CARER SUPPORT & RESOURCES
Everyone has the right to get support from another person to help express their views and wishes (for example, at a healthcare appointment). This person is called an advocate.
Advocates can be helpful if you:
• find it difficult to make your views known
• need other people to listen to you and take your views into account

As the UK's only national membership charity for carers, Carers UK is both a supportive community and a movement for change. To obtain help and advice or the latest information and guidance for unpaid carers please visit their website www.carersuk.org
CAMHS RESOURCES
This site was created for young people, carers and professionals to pool lots of helpful resources from across the internet that are available to help support your mental health and well-being.
A collection of DOWNLOADABLE self-help guides that we really like and hope may be useful to you. Some are aimed at adults but the ideas and suggestions in them can still be relevant for young people and parents.
A collection of APPS that are designed to support young people, adults and families with their mental health and well-being. If you click on the image it will open the app site in a new window.
There are VIDEOS on a wide range of topics that provide information about mental health and well-being. If there are others that you find helpful that I have not included please get in touch and let me know about them.
A collection of BOOKS designed to help young people and families cope with challenges that can occur with their mental health and emotional well-being during childhood and adolescence.
