There is a variety of help available for Parents. Look below to find out various ways of receiving support. 

Early Help

 What is Early Help? 

If you have difficulties in your family, or if you are worried about your children, there are people who can support you. 

Early help is about giving information, advice and guidance to families. We want to help as soon as difficulties start. This is to prevent family worries growing into bigger issues.

We can help any family with a child or young person up to 18-years-old (25 for young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities). We also can help with the worries adults may have, such as finances or mental health, which may impact on the children.

How can I request Early Help? 

For requesting Early Help one of their early help professionals can advise and support you.

At Carers Matter Norfolk we know that caring can have a big impact on your everyday life. This can be your own health, finances, or opportunities to be involved in activities other people may take for granted – for leisure, education or employment.

Our vision is to create a world where carers are recognised, supported, valued and empowered to care with confidence and improve their health and wellbeing. We at Carers Matter Norfolk we can provide you with information, advice and guidance to help you better manage in your caring role. More than 400 people who are looking after someone contact us for help each month – and we are here to give support – you do not need to manage on your own.

All our services are free and available to people aged 18+ caring for another adult. Support is available to carers who
are caring for someone who lives in Norfolk. The support we are able to provide to carers is flexible in approach and tailored to meet what matters to you as an individual carer.
