Show your support for carers by checking-in on them regularly. You can:

• Encourage carers to talk if this is helpful to them.
• Validate their feelings without judgement.
• Avoid discussing sensitive matters in front of the care recipient as it could make them uncomfortable.

Offer to provide carers with a break and time for themselves to recharge. You can:

• Run errands for them.
• Help with household chores like laundry, cleaning, cooking, budgeting and shopping.
• Plan a social activity together.

Recognise the exceptional role carers play in the lives of those they care for. You can:

• Express gratitude with a simple, personalised.
• Be a compassionate and empathetic listener.
• Verbally recognise their efforts.

Carers often priortise the well-being of the person they care for over their own needs. They might struggle to seek assistance due to a sense of guilt and shame or fear of being judged. You can:

• Ask them on how you can help them.
• Listen to what they need – don’t assume you know!

Remind carers to take care of themselves and prioritise their own physical and mental health. You can:

• Share helpful resources such as healthand wellbeing apps and support groups.
• Go for a walk with them.
• If you are an employer, provide carers with flexible work-arrangements.
