About this tool

A quick guide, built around you

This isn't an assessment and there are no right or wrong answers. It simply helps you find the parts of Liverpool Carers Centre that may be most useful right now.

Start with what is happening now

You don't have to work everything out at once.

Caring can begin gradually or life can change overnight. This short support finder will help you prioritise the next step rather than giving you a long list of things to read.

This tool provides general guidance and signposting. It does not replace a Carer's Assessment, professional advice or urgent help.
