There are many ways to take care of yourself, including taking time to do things you enjoy and making sure you get a break from caregiving every now and then. Another important way to get help is to find support. This can come from many places:
*Friends and family who can help you with caregiving duties, or who can simply provide you with emotional support.
*A therapist or someone similar you can confide in about your own feelings.
*Support groups for caregivers. These are often made up of other caregivers, who meet together in person or online to talk about their experiences. These groups are great places to find emotional support, but also helpful advice.
* Formal supports, such as educational or government agencies that provide information and support to caregivers or to the people they take care of.
