While taking care of a friend or family member may be a labor of love, it can also be extremely stressful. This presentation will discuss the physical, emotional, and financial stressors that caregivers may face. We will also explore tips and strategies for self-care. Caregivers need to take care of their own wellbeing in order to be able to care for another person.
