Caregivers may be put at risk of mental health issues and physical ones. For that reason, it is essential to take care of yourself first as a caregiver to provide effective caregiving. In some moments, it can be necessary to reach out for support, and it should become more common so caregivers do not feel so alone during vulnerable times. According to the FCA, caregivers have lower levels of self-care, so it is a good idea for all to engage in a self-care routine, which can help them live a more balanced and overall healthier lifestyle (FCA, n.d.).
