If you are a young carer or young adult carer, there are organisations that can offer additional advice and support.
Local help is available from the Northamptonshire Carers Young Carers Team.
The The Children's Society also provides advice, guidance and resources for young carers on its website.
You can talk to us if you would like support getting in touch with any of these services.
