Children’s Mental Health Respite Services of PeelIf you are feeling stressed because you care for a child with mental health problems, you may need to take some time off. You may need to let someone else look after your child for a little while. This is called respite care.
If you need some time off from caring for your child, you should talk to your case manager. (A case manager is a social worker or health care worker who is trained to manage all parts of your child’s care.) He or she can help you find the help you need from our service.

- if your child has mental health problems,
