Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Has links to support services for carers OF children, not carers who ARE children.
This is decent information for mental health of young people in general.  The information is not specific to those that are carers.

page_title: Guidance COVID-19: guidance for young people on shielding and protecting people most likely to become unwell if they catch coronavirus
section_headers: Advice for young carers supporting someone who is clinically extremely vulnerable
Receiving care from other people
section_content: If other people help you with basic or personal care needs, like help with
washing, dressing, going to the toilet or eating, this can carry on.
Paid carers can get more information about how they can protect you from the
home care provision
guidance. Family and friend carers may also find this helpful, so they know
what paid carers should be doing to protect you.
Nurses or doctors can also carry on visiting you. Anyone coming into your home
should wash their hands for 20 seconds using soap and water, or hand sanitiser
after entering.
But, if anyone who cares for you has symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), they
must not visit you and should self-isolate in line with the stay at home
guidance.
Make a plan about who will care for you if the people who usually do are not
able to because, for example, they are unwell.
Talk to your parents and/or carers about this and if you’re not sure who else
would be able to care for you, contact your local
council for advice.
Use the phone or internet to keep in touch with other people. Health and
social services are all still open so ring if you need them.
If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should contact NHS 111 online. Do not go
to hospital or your GP surgery, but if you need treatment, hospitals are still
there to support and advise you. If there is an emergency, call 999. Explain
that you are extremely vulnerable to coronavirus and are most likely to get
very unwell.
If you have GP or other health appointments during the time that you are
shielding, these may be rearranged to be over the phone. Your GP or
practitioner will be in contact if this is the case.

Has brief advice about arranging for backup carers but doesn't link to or mention specific resources.
There isn't a lot of information here.  The information in the answer doesn't address the mental health issue in the question.
