Care4Carers – Carers taking care of themselves

 

 

Caregivers cannot help others if they do not care for themselves. Coaching is one way to support caregivers by evoking awareness of what is going on when they feel all of a sudden placed in the role of a caregiver and being at risk of isolation, burnout or illness.

In a short interview, a caregiver talks about her coaching experience that helped her realize that taking care of herself was crucial to handle the care situation without risking her own health.
