If you’re unsure whether you may be a Young Carer, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you live with or regularly support someone who is frail aged, has a disability, chronic illness, drug or alcohol dependence or a mental illness?
- Are you too busy at home to study or do your homework?
- Do you have to look after your brothers or sisters because your parents are often sick?
- Are you unable to go on school excursions because you’re needed at home?
- Do you rarely get to see your friends or go out to have fun because someone is relying on you?
- Are you thinking about leaving school early, or do you want to continue but do not have the time?
