Finding A Rhythm

Caregiver begins to establish personal support system

Caregiver peer support can provide a network of people who know and understand the caregiving journey who can listen, encourage and guide caregivers so they don’t feel alone.

Structured caregiver peer support may provide:

• Connection – An opportunity to connect about a shared lived experience
• Engagement – Offers the opportunity to give and receive support
• Knowledge – Increase your knowledge about caregiving resources and events
• Skills – Build skills to improve your caregiving as well as your self care
• Hope – to decrease isolation and promote wellbeing

Each day is a cycle of understanding and problem solving

As caregivers continue to gather tools to help them navigate the caregiving journey, they will start to make adjustments to their lives that help them find their rhythm. Caregivers will often experience setbacks and encounter challenges on a day to day basis, but when they receive the right support and training, they will eventually be able to manage these challenges more effectively.
