A Self-Care Tip for Caregivers

Being a caregiver can be difficult. At times, you may feel alone and isolated, making it all the more important for you to have someone who can help care for you.

Having somebody to talk to when you’re feeling down or when you’re struggling to cope can be incredibly helpful when experiencing tough times. Whether it’s a friend, a family member, or another caregiver in the community, you have a shoulder to cry on or someone to simply listen to your experiences. If you speak to another caregiver, they will be able to empathize with you, and perhaps share their own experiences.

Make sure that it’s somebody that you trust and feel able to open up to so that you can voice your feelings.  Look for somebody who is an active listener and genuinely wants to offer their support.
