Caregiver consultants equip caregivers with the knowledge, skills and tools to achieve a balanced lifestyle while caring for others. They focus on problem-solving, information sharing, skill development, and emotional support. A caregiver consultant helps caregivers develop strategies to achieve a balanced lifestyle that enhances their ability to provide good care and manage their well-being.
If you are a caregiver and are interested in speaking with a caregiver consultant, contact the organization at the websites listed above.
