A guide to end of life caring

Caring for someone at the end of life is a very important role. Carers can be family members, friends, colleagues or neighbours. If you are the carer of someone who is approaching death, information can make a difference to you and the person needing care.
CarerHelp provides access to useful and trustworthy information, tools, articles and videos. These resources can help you understand what to expect, improve communication and acknowledge your contribution.
CarerHelp aims to empower you to cope with the hard times as well as you can, and to make space for good times as well. When carers feel ready for their role, everybody benefits.
