Website For Caregivers Who Are Under Stress

Being a caregiver can hurt your own health. Here's a website that can help family caregivers suffering under stress from caring for a loved one.

In my previous entry I listed some statistics regarding caregiver stress, along with some local resources for caregivers in the Chicago area. These statistics underscore the correlation between being a caregiver to a loved one, and experiencing stress and the negative impact it can have on the caregiver's health.

The website www.caregiverstress.com is a site designed to help family caregivers.  The site includes a stress-meter to help caregivers assess their stress levels and the impact the stress may have, educational videos, a blog by renown aging expert Dr. Amy D'Aprix, and numerous resources.

If you are a caregiver, check out caregiverstress.com . Pass it on to anyone you know who may be experiencing stress from being in the role of caregiver.
