Think Carer
Carers awareness and what you can do…
Our new campaign aims to get more people recognising themselves as carers and to enable them to get the help and support that they might need.
We also want professionals who might come across carers regularly to Think Carer and to help refer and signpost them to the help and support that is available across the borough.
We want carers to get the support that they need. But we know that there is a time lag between people becoming carers and recognising themselves as carers of around 2 years.
The Think Carer campaign in Barnet is aimed at getting people to recognise themselves as carers faster so that they can get that support.
