Family and Carer Support

If you’re caring for someone with mental health challenges, your role is incredibly important. We understand that caring can be isolating and exhausting but you are not alone, and you won’t be left to do it alone.

This page is for families, friends, and carers of adults using mental health services in Tayside. Whether you’re looking for practical advice, emotional support, or simply want to understand more about the care your loved one is receiving, we’re here to help.

Here you’ll find:
• Information on Adult Carer Support Plans and Young Carer Statements
• Helpful links to local carers centres and advocacy support
• Resources to support you in your caring role

We’re committed to making sure carers feel informed, supported, and valued—every step of the way.
