#Caregiving #SelfCare #MayoClinicHealthSystem
Caregiving can be both rewarding and challenging. But who cares for the caregiver? In this Mayo Clinic Health System video, we'll show why it’s essential to navigate this path with care and awareness.
Some things for caregivers to consider include establishing effective communication techniques to discuss and share expectations and concerns with others, while also establishing clear boundaries.
Caregivers need to make time for self-care; providing 24/7 care isn't sustainable for most people without making time to care for themselves. It's important to prioritize your well-being by balancing compassion with self-care.
Being a loving, responsible family member is commendable; but be sure to make your needs known. Make time for friends, exercise and rest. Lean on family and friends or explore community resources to help meet your needs.
Remember, compassion extends to yourself. You’re not alone on this care-giving journey.
