Caregivers, whether professional or unpaid family members, often experience physical, mental, and emotional strain as a result of their care-taking and suffer from stress, anxiety, anger, isolation, fatigue, and trauma to name a few issues. Family caregivers are especially likely to neglect their own health and self-care needs, making it more likely that their own well-being will be negatively affected which in turn jeopardizes the well-being of those they care for.

Caregivers are advised to practice self-care but can greatly benefit from psychotherapy which can provide the help and motivation for caregivers to take care of themselves, meet their needs, and continue their work. Therapy can help caregivers become better able to cope with grief, stress, and isolation. Donations to Caregiver Support go towards providing individual counseling, workshops, and support groups to educate and support caregivers so they can better manager their own psychological and emotional needs.
