Welcome to a site dedicated to caregivers
Are you a parent of a child with special needs? Do you care for a sick partner or an aging parent?
We as caregivers play such an important role as advocates for our loved ones that we must not lose ourselves in the process. Give yourself permission to take care of yourself first - exercise, meet friends, hire a respite worker, go on a date night, ask for help. You can even be bolder - you can choose to be happy every day....even on the bad days.
