Carers in Somerset Network

Welcome

to the website for you.  For relatives and friends who care for people in Somerset with mental health problems.

Who is a Carer?

A carer is someone who provides or intends to provide practical and emotional support to  someone  with a mental health problem. You may or may not live with the person you care for. You may be a relative, partner, friend or neighbour.  You may be a young person, but now find yourself  in the position of needing to support an unwell person. The information found here and in our downloadable version is designed to assist carers in accessing information that  will help  them in their caring role.
