Social Sciences - Psychology / counselling service for rleatives/family members
Swedish term or phrase: anhörigstöd
This is a municipal counselling service for people who are caring for a loved one with a disability or drug problem and need support. I need to find the most appropriate term. I've seen "family care consulting", "Support for relatives" "counselling" and a host of others. Anyone know what this is called in the English speaking countries?

neutral  George Hopkins: A carer is not necessarily related (anhörig) to the person receiving help - although I think 'carer' is a better term.
