Carer Connect - Help and support from our free WhatsApp digital assistant Barney
Barney is for people who look after a family member, friend or neighbour who needs help because of illness, disability, mental health problems or addiction.
A carer does not have to be paid. Many carers look after someone because they care about them. Being a carer can be rewarding, but it can also be hard work.
Barney can:
• Give advice and information.
• Help carers find local support.
• Tell carers about benefits and money advice.
• Help carers look after their own health and wellbeing.
• Introduce carers to groups and activities.
• Help carers plan for emergencies.
Who can use it?
Anyone living in Barnsley who cares for another person can use Barney. Staff working in health, social care, community, voluntary, and provider services can also use Barney as an information guide.
