Being a caregiver for someone with a disability or chronic disease is a very important role. It usually involves a number of tasks that can be very time consuming, and can require a great deal of effort. If we do not learn to recognize that certain tasks and expectations can take their toll on us, we may find ourselves headed down the path of burnout. Burnout can be defined as exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation, usually as a result of prolonged stress. Community Health Charities has partnered with member charity The ALS Association to create a video podcast to provide tips, helpful hints and resources available to those who serve in a care giving role.
