Kelli Rea - Caring for the Caregiver
As caregivers we endure a great deal of stress often times greater than our non-caregiver counterparts. We spend much of our time making sure others are safe, secure, healthy, and content- even after our typical counterparts have been relieved of these duties. Our loved ones with extra needs require us to take care of their needs, or at least some of their needs, longer than what is typically expected.
As parents, grandparents, guardians, educators, paraprofessionals, etc., we often find it difficult to find time or energy to care for ourselves, leading to caregiver burnout. The questions I aim to answer are, how do we prevent burn out, or relieve current burn out? How can we care for the caregiver? Spanish translation available.
