Caregiver Support

Silhouette At Sunset

There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers, and those who will need caregivers."

​

- Rosalynn Carter

Supporting Those Who Care for Others

Many caregivers spend years putting others first. Over time, their own needs can become difficult to recognize.

Who caregivers are:

​

  • Healthcare workers 

  • Parents 

  • Partners 

  • Adult children 

  • Teachers 

  • Educational assistants 

  • Helping professionals 

Common experiences:

​

  • Burnout 

  • Guilt 

  • Feeling responsible for everyone 

  • Difficulty asking for help 

  • Losing yourself in the role 

  • Loss of caretaker role

Caring for yourself is not selfish; it is part of sustaining the care you provide to others.
