Whether its addiction related to drugs, alcohol or gambling, our Substance Misuse Service is here to support you.

If you’re aged 18–25 and support a family member or friend with a physical or mental illness, disability or addiction, you’re a young adult carer. You can access our support if you live in York or care for someone who does.

You may not see yourself as a carer, but if you support someone unpaid due to illness, disability or mental health needs, you are a carer. Start here to recognise your role and find the right support, advice and next steps.

We are a charity dedicated to supporting unpaid carers in York. An unpaid carer regularly helps someone close to them due to frailty, physical or mental illness, addiction, or disability. Carers can be any age, and our support starts from age 5.

Many people impacted by addiction hesitate to seek support due to stigma, shame, or not identifying as a “carer.” York Carers Centre offer a safe, non-judgmental space through dedicated Substance Misuse and Gambling Carer Support Groups. Our free support ensures you’re heard – you don’t have to face this alone.
