FeedbackSelf-Care for Caregivers
Small steps to protect your own well-being while caring for others
Even 10 minutes of rest can recharge you. Step outside, have a cup of tea, or simply sit quietly.
You don't have to do everything alone. Accept offers of help, and consider accessing respite care services through Carer Gateway.
Regular physical activity helps manage stress and maintain your health. Even a daily walk makes a difference.
Share your feelings with a trusted friend, family member, or counselor. You don't have to carry this alone.
It's okay to say no. Protect your own well-being so you can be the best caregiver possible.
Understanding dementia can help you feel more confident and less overwhelmed in your caring role. Knowledge is a powerful tool.
