Every family, whānau, and aiga carer knows their role can be rewarding, but that it is also often uniquely demanding. Most carers have other responsibilities too and juggling these with providing care can be hugely challenging.
Stress is an inevitability in these situations, however, if it starts to build, as it so often does, it can become harder to cope with and eventually lead to burnout.
Tricia Hendry has created ‘We Are Not Machines’ to address these issues. A free, useful resource that examines carer burnout, tips and tools on what helps prevent it, and ways to recover.
