Caring for someone close? Ask about support for carers
If you regularly support an ill or older relative, your municipality may also have help for you. Ask social services or an anhörigkonsulent about counselling, peer groups, training or respite from caring.

Who this may help
Ask social services or an anhörigkonsulent about counselling, peer groups, training or respite from caring.
What to do
- Explain what would help most and ask about eligibility, assessment and any local charge for each service.
- Explain what is difficult in your day-to-day caring role, not only the relative’s diagnosis. That helps the municipality discuss relevant support.
Important limits
Support and fees differ by municipality; respite or practical help may not be free.
