Tips

Make time for yourself

It’s important to take some time out, just to be yourself. Go for a walk, listen to music, read a book – whatever brings you joy and helps you relax.

Share your feelings

Connecting with other young caregivers who understand what you’re going through can help ease feelings of stress and isolation.

Sweat it out

Exercise in almost any form – from yoga to running – can act as a stress reliever. When you’re physically active, your body releases feel-good endorphins.
