Asking for Help

Allowing others to help ensures the person you support maintains healthy relationships and doesn’t become overly dependent on one caregiver. Shared caregiving builds resilience and connection for everyone involved.

Accepting Help From Others

Take time to assess the supports and services available to you—family, friends, professionals, and community programs—and decide when and how to use them. Knowing when to seek help is a key part of sustainable caregiving.

Assessing Your Resources

Learn why it’s essential for care partners to include additional people on the care team. Sharing responsibilities not only prevents burnout but also ensures more balanced, continuous, and compassionate support for the person receiving care.

Building A Support Team

How to evaluate and monitor your capabilities as a care partner.

Evaluate Your Own Abilities

Do I Need Help?
