Description
Lanarkshire Carers is a resource for carers across Lanarkshire to access information, advice and a range of direct support services to support them in their caring roles. We are commissioned by Health and Social Care North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire Health and Social Care Partnership to provide Adult Carer Support Services to carers living in Lanarkshire.

Our Carer Counselling Service can help you to achieve personal outcomes that might be important to you and manage the day-to-day demands of your caring role
Dedicated support for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities including bi-lingual support
Tailored support for Young Adult Carers (aged 18-25)
