Kids and Teens
This page is for under 18's who have a family member with MS. You may be giving them extra help and support, maybe by caring for brothers or sisters, doing housework, cooking, shopping, helping them get dressed or move about the house. If you are you may have heard of the term 'young carer' which is often used to refer to children and teens in your situation.
Lots of us 'help out' at home, but if you're giving lots of care and having problems as a result, or simply need some information about MS, we hope these pages will help.
