Synopsis
Becoming a carer can be a physically and emotionally exhausting task and although there is help available many carers do not have the time to look for it or know who to contact. This indispensable guide aims to be a one-stop-shop for the huge percentage of the population who, now or later, find themselves in a caring role, whether that involves shopping for a housebound neighbour, or giving up work to care full-time for a disabled child or confused parent. This book will also help carers care for themselves. It looks at the difficult feelings that go hand in hand with caring, including how relationships are affected. There's guidance on what to do when a carer stops coping, and how to prepare emotionally and practically for the time when caring comes to an end. There is also an extensive resource section that arms carers with all the phone numbers, addresses and websites they need.

About the Author
Jane Matthews is a former carer and Chair of Milton Keynes Relate. Jane became a carer herself when her uncle was diagnosed with cancer. The lack of resources, support and guidance she experienced, together with her feelings of isolation, led her to write this book to help others who find themselves in a caring role.
Review
"It's a great book - well structured, well written, full of useful advice and incredibly compassionate. I am absolutely certain that this book will save lives and sanity. Essential reading for any carer, or anyone who may become a carer." Susan Quilliam, relationship psychologist and agony aunt "An indispensable guide for carers which also serves as an excellent reference book for students and practitioners across the range of health, care and early years." Gee Mullaney, Swansea College"
