Tips for Caregivers
1

Don’t try to do this alone.
Reach out to loved ones, medical professionals, NGOs and your community.
2

Make sure you get enough rest
This includes time for yourself and setting boundaries on what you can do.
3

Don’t neglect aches and pains
Caregiving can be physical work and you might be straining your body. See a healthcare professional before it gets worse.
4

Let go of guilt
You won’t be perfect all the time. But you are enough.
5

Fill your own cup
Don’t stop doing things that make you happy. You need as much care as anyone else.
