Data Base of the resources and available tools

About this data base
This database is a collection of materials and resources the EPYC partners have identified in their own countries and internationally that they feel represent useful tools to support young carers. The resources include awareness raising tools which have been developed for use by professionals working with young people to highlight young carers and the issues they face. The resources also include measurement tools and instruments (such as scales, questionnaires, etc) which capture the burden of caring on young people.

Full details of each resource can be found by clicking on the appropriate link. If you are using a resource, please fully credit the original source. For further information on the resources, please contact the creator directly or the partner agency for the country concerned. Unless otherwise stated, the resources have not been formally tested, vetted or approved for use by the partners.

You can contact the project partners via Email if you have any further questions or would like to propose adding a specific resource: epyc@diakonie-stadtmitte.de.
