Taking a break from your caring role

A break from caring is when someone else looks after the person you care for so you can have some time to yourself.

• a regular day each week
• an overnight stay or holiday

It’s ok to take a break from caring. It gives you time to rest, look after yourself, and come back feeling more able to cope.
