HUGS (Help Us Give Support …Help Us Gain Support)
The demands of caregiving can be overwhelming, especially if you feel you have little control over the situation or that you’re in over your head. If you let the stress of caregiving progress to burnout, it can damage both your physical and mental health. So if you’re caring for a family member, it’s essential that you get the support you need. The good news is that you’re not alone. Help for caregivers is available.
A caregiver support group is one way to share your troubles and seek out people who are going through the same experiences that you are living each day. In most support groups, you'll talk about your problems and listen to others talk; you'll not only get help, but you'll be able to help others, too. Most important, you'll find out that you're not alone. Please come receive some HUGS (Help Us Give Support … Help Us Gain Support) from the team at Providence Park Hosptial.
