• A person (usually within the family environment) who maintains personal assistance to another who may suffer from, but is not limited to: a physical [disability], mental illness, [intellectual disability], or drug and/or alcohol dependency. There are no boundaries to the notion of caring in this context as a large number of Carers can be found throughout the globe in many different environments. Caring roles are often demanding and some services exist primarily for Carers, allowing them to have a break. Support for Carers appears to be on the increase however a particular difficulty in the Human Service [sector] is reaching out to people who are unidentified carers- those who maintain a caring role however are not aware that there is appropriate support available.
