Introduction

Welcome to the Carer Support website at Bangor University.

The original version of iSupport, developed by the World Health Organization, was designed for adult carers, not younger people.

Many young people share the responsibility for caring for a family member living with dementia. These young people need to be fully informed about dementia and supported in their role.

This adaptation of iSupport has been created with the help of six young people between the ages of 11 and 17 who have first hand experience of helping care for a person with dementia. Elsie, Anna, Taliesin, Millie, Bessie and Paige dedicated time to review iSupport and gave us their opinions on how it should be adapted so it is a useful resource for young people in a similar situation to theirs.
