Care and support
Where to look for help and advice
The rest of the Family
It can be difficult for siblings of disabled children and young people to have their own time to play, study and relax.Some siblings will take on a caring responsibility for their disabled parent, brother or sister and may need an opportunity to talk to other young people in their situation and share experiences.
Parents and carers of children also need support, advice, and respite from their responsibilities, with people who understand and who can offer extra support and advice.
Listed below are some Hertfordshire support and advice groups for carers, parent carers, and young carers:
- Carers in Herts centres
- CHIPS: parent support groups (Hertford and Bishop's Stortford)
