National Family Caregivers Month: Take Time to Take Care of You!

You give everything to the person you care for, but running on empty helps no one. These ten down-to-earth tips show family caregivers how to slip self-care into even the busiest days—think support groups, quick health habits, and saying yes to help—without guilt. It’s not about being selfish; it’s about staying sharp and steady for the long haul.

From spotting burnout early to using smart tech and keeping medical files in order, each tip is a small step that adds up to less stress and more energy. You’ll also learn why legal paperwork and regular breaks matter, plus how to give yourself credit for the tough job you’re already doing. Simple, realistic, and built for real life.
