And we're off! The Young Carers Council have just welcomed everyone to this year's #YoungCarersConference. Workshops are just about to begin, giving #YoungCarers outlets to express this year's theme: 'Empathy not Sympathy' #makingcarerscount

#YoungCarers Conference 2025 is over now but it's been an amazing day! There's been some great displays of creativity and informative conversations with #health and #socialcare professionals. Thanks to everyone involved!

It's #YoungCarersActionDay & we Carers in Herts & Young Carers Herts support carers of all ages by providing information & activities to meet other carers, develop skills or have a break from caring – this year’s theme. Get in touch to learn how we can help.

🚨 New Video Alert! For #YoungCarersActionDay, some incredible #YoungCarers have opened up about how they take time for themselves away from caring and why it’s important to have a break. Everyone involved: you are AMAZING! youtu.be/TLLow6jnvCg @carerstrust #SelfCareMatters

Over 3,200 young carers are part of the Young Carers Herts family! Our Young Carers Service helps them build skills, gain confidence & have the same opportunities as their peers without a caring role. We love hearing feedback on how we've made a difference – like the quote in the image.

This #YoungCarersActionDay, young carers share how they take a break from their caring role. Popular activities are listening to music & spending time with friends. During school holidays, we Young Carers Herts organise fun events to relax, socialise & build skills. Reach out to learn more

Journaling can be a game changer for student wellbeing! ✍️ The Just Talk Interactive Journal helps young people reflect & build resilience: justtalkherts.org/media/document… Visit justtalkherts.org/yourmentalheal… for more info! #JustTalkHerts
