Resources for young people who find themselves in a
caring role
NEW:
- When a parent has a mental
illness: a 16 minute film with the voices of young
carers talking about their lives as carer for a parent with mental
illness. Narrated by Chineye, a young carer herself, the film also
explains in a very simple and visual way how the brain works and
what happens when things go wrong.

 A Fact pack
for young people who live with someone with a mental illness.
This A5 booklet was designed and produced by four Gloucestershire
young carers, using their own personal experiences to help others
in the same situation.
"We decided to write the pack because we felt that there was
very little information around for young people like us. It inludes
all sorts of information that we would like to have been given. We
hope you find it useful."
