Resources for Carers & Families

Caring for others is rewarding but can also bring responsibilities and adjustments. Balancing care with your own wellbeing is important, and this section offers guidance and practical ideas to support both you and the person you care for.

Practical tips

✓  Prioritise your wellbeing

Even short breaks or small self-care activities help you maintain balance.

✓ Establish routines

Predictable routines can reduce stress for both you and the person you care for.

✓ Build support networks

Reach out to friends, community groups, or online communities for connection and advice.

✓ Set realistic goals

Focus on small, achievable steps each day rather than trying to manage everything at once.

✓ Reflect and celebrate

Notice successes and acknowledge the effort you put into caring.

Support beyond this space

Sometimes talking with someone individually can help carers explore strategies, reflect on experiences, and maintain their own wellbeing alongside caring for others.

The Wellness Hub clinic offers support for carers and families in a warm, respectful, and practical environment.
