There are a number of services that we will signpost you too as needed
As a Carer, you are entitled to a Free Carers Assessment. There are a few local Carers Associations:

- If you are struggling, please reach out, speak to the ICST Staff, or the Stroke Association. We will always try to advise or get help as needed. Do not struggle alone. We know that Caring for someone is very demanding and challenging, so please speak out and let us help you where we can.
- If you do not want to speak to any of the above, please speak to your GP.
