While 9 out of 10 caregivers surveyed (Aginginplace.com 2019) say that even with all the burdens, caring for their loved one is worthwhile, the impact on the person who is care-giving can’t be understated. The desire to provide the best care for a loved one can lead to fatigue, helplessness and immense feelings of guilt. In this session, you’ll discover what can lead to burnout, how to recognize it, strategies and how to avoid burnout and what to do if you might have reached burnout.
