Young carers
If you’re under 18 and look after someone, support is available.

Other help available includes:
- Just Talk – mental health support for all children and young people in Hertfordshire.
- Safe Space – counselling, therapy and mentoring.
- Services for Young People – youth work projects, careers education, information advice and guidance for young people aged 11-19 across Hertfordshire.
- Carers Trust – help and support for young carers.
- The Local Offer – lets parents and young people know what special educational needs and disabilities services are available in Hertfordshire, and who can access them.
