November - National Family Caregivers Month

Caregiving can be many things. It can be rewarding, enlightening, and at many times very enjoyable. It can also be exhausting, mentally and physically.

November is National Family Caregivers Month. As you reflect on your role as a caregiver, now is a great time to think about ways you can take care of yourself. It is important to give care not only for your family member, but also for you. What are some ways that you can take care of yourself in this next month?

Maybe you could..

• Go to a movie           
  
• Take a bath
• Call a friend
• Go on a date
• Walk the dog
• Journal
• Listen to music
• Your idea here

The important thing is that you make time for yourself.
For me, I'm going to go have a cup of tea.

Here are some great resources for caregivers.
