Get a carer's assessment

Carers Matter Norfolk will adjust the assessment process to match your situation. It might just be a short conversation, or they might set up regular appointments to check-in with you and see how the support you receive is working.

The support you receive following your assessment might include:

• Putting you in touch with a local support group so you have people to talk to
• Practical support, like arranging for someone to step in when you need a short break
• Support to improve your mental health through counselling, peer-to-peer support or training
• Resources to support your physical health and wellbeing
• Carers breaks to give you time away from your caring role
• A grant from the health and wellbeing fund which you can use to buy items or services to support your health and wellbeing

You'll get this support free of charge, so you will not need to complete a financial assessment.
