title: [What support is needed for caregivers?].
abstract: Non-professional carers provide over 80% of care for dependents. They are highly at risk of becoming exhausted, in particular in the home where isolation, seclusion and the mechanism of identifying with the dependent are combined. As such, it is fundamental to maintain the carer-dependent relationship. Belonging to a group may probably provide this indispensable support.
