We use the term ‘carer’ to describe someone who provides regular, unpaid support to a person who uses mental health services. This could be a family member, partner or close friend. Sometimes, children are involved in helping to look after a family member who has mental health problems, or who is addicted to drugs or alcohol. This might involve shopping, cleaning, cooking or looking after a younger sister or brother.
