Useful Resources for Carers
As a carer, there may be times where you need guidance or information in order to get right support. In order to help with this, we have collated a range of resources, published both by Southwark Carers and other external agencies that you may find useful.

Carers Direct
Carers Direct is the official website designed to help you get the help and support you need as a carer. We offer all the information you should need to get the financial help you’re entitled to, as well as advice on getting a break from caring, going to work and much more.
Questions to ask the psychiatrist
This checklist suggests some questions you may want to ask about your:
- illness
- treatment
- care
You may be able to get some of this information from other members of the team who are involved in your care.
Not everyone will need all the answers to all these questions, and not all at the same time. You may have questions that are not covered in this leaflet. Even so, it should help you decide what you do need to know.
