How can we help caregivers(family and friends)?

• Provide emotional and social support.

• Listen and allow them to express themselves without judgment.

• Talk to them about respite. Offer your time or encourage them to consider working with an agency that provides respite.

• Check in on them, call, text,  or arrange coffee/tea time at the caregiver's home.

• Encourage self-care( emotional, physical, social, and spiritual).

• Cook a meal for the caregiver and his/her family.

This can help caregivers stay healthy and from feeling burnout. It will keep caregivers feeling good about themselves and motivated in helping others.

Kindly,

Sandra
