Whether juggling family and work commitments to provide care a few hours a week, or caring 24 hours each day, if you provide regular help and support to a partner, relative or friend because they cannot manage without your help, then Carers Link is here for you.
In East Dunbartonshire 1 Person in 8 is a Carer.
This information is for anyone who cares for someone who is dependent on drugs, gambling or alcohol, or who has any other substance dependency or addiction. You can read a summary of this information within our leaflet by clicking on the image to the left.
You may not think of yourself as a ‘Carer’, particularly if the person affected is a close family member or friend, but the term ‘Carer’ applies to anyone who looks after someone who cannot manage without additional support – whether physical or emotional, or both - due to disability, frailty, illness or addiction.
You may have become a Carer very recently, or you may already have been caring for many years. It is very common to need extra support when you are caring for someone with a dependency, and whatever your circumstances there are many different kinds of support Carers Link can offer.
