Online Chat

Online forums and chatrooms targeted at carers can be a great place to get advice and support. It can also be a great way of taking a break from your caring role to know that there are other people like you out there.

Feeling as though you are on your own is something many carers struggle with. By using an online forum that is for other adult carers, you could ease some of this strain by getting to know other people who are in similar positions.

There are a number of different forums out there that you can use, below are just a few that you can have a look at.

  • Carers FIRST’s Carer Forum
