In all seriousness though, be there to listen and ask them how you can help them if you can at all.

Re: Infobus on June 7th - Young Carers
It can be difficult sometimes to ask for help or support when you are a young carer. Sometimes the people around us may think we are managing, which stops them from asking us if we need help. I found it very helpful when I did ask others for help and support. For example, if I wasn't able to get an assignment complete by the due date due to my caring role, it was good talking to the teacher about getting a possible extension.

Re: Infobus on June 7th - Young Carers
I think sometimes it might feel difficult for people to open up about their experience as a carer, not everyone else knows what it's like or has been a part of a conversation like this. So just being willing to listen and understand a bit about what it's like can be a huge help

@Ben-RO That's right
If you don't know how to support someone, ask them what is the best way they would like to be supported

Re: Infobus on June 7th - Young Carers
On to the last question for the evening
It's important to take time out as a young carer to look after yourself, what types of things do you do/can you suggest?
WE WANT YOU to tell us what kind of infobuses you'd like to see! Let us know here.

I learnt to play the guitar. Music for me is my time out, and it also gives me space to express myself in a creative way!
