A Co Armagh mum, who cares for her disabled sons, has opened up on "feeling forgotten, frozen in time and with little-to-no support".
People like Tracey Gilliland, who are providing unpaid care for sick or disabled family members or friends in Northern Ireland, say they are living with "shocking levels of poor health" as they struggle to access support services or breaks from caring.
It comes as a new survey released today by Carers NI of over 1,600 unpaid carers here found that 27% described their mental health as bad or very bad, while 20% said the same about their physical health.
