Looking after yourself while caring

Your journey as a carer in palliative care is one of compassion, dedication and impact. By providing emotional, physical, and practical support to someone with a life-limiting illness, you’re ensuring they experience the best possible quality of life. From managing symptoms to offering companionship and helping with daily tasks, the care you provide makes a profound difference. Accessing support for yourself while you care can reduce the impacts of caring and enhance your wellbeing.
