Family caregivers are key members of a patient’s care team, providing up to 75% of the care received. Caregiving impacts all facets of the caregiver’s life, and this puts them at very high risk of burnout. In this presentation from the Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO), we will learn about:

• Why stress and burnout is so commonly experienced by caregivers
• How to recognize the indicators of stress and burnout in yourself
• Strategies to manage stress and reduce burnout to support your overall well-being
• How to plan for emergencies and build a contingency plan, as part of proactive stress management
• FREE programs and services offered by the OCO, to support caregivers across Ontario
