Caregivers Need Care Too

It's easy for people who take care of others to forget to take care of themselves or to find themselves too stretched to really attend to their own families. Our focus is on strengthening the safety nets of these individuals, and also on providing them with tools to pass onto others with whom they work.

Committed people who help others often take on too much of the burden and can burn out, wear out, and overextend. Some of our best people-gardeners are then lost. These caring individuals really need their own strong, nurtured personal safety systems. Feedback supports our belief in the importance of caring for the caregivers.

Remember, Caregivers need care too.
