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.
These case studies are designed for staff to work through and discuss the impact of caring on each young person, the signs that you might notice in your role and any barriers that may exist for the young person in each scenario.
