I feel like I’ve been at the bottom of a well trying to get out ... SYC have been the ones offering me a rope and pulling me out.
Parent from our Family Project
We support professionals in social care, health, education and the voluntarysector in Sheffield to identify and support young carers and young people affected by substance misuse in the family.
Stand with young carers and their families – your support today creates stronger futures tomorrow.
This leaflet is designed for secondary schools to share with young carers in year 7 when they transition to secondary school so they know that support exists and who to talk to about their caring.
