Caregiver's Bill of Rights
It's easier to practice authentic, sustainable self care when you know your rights as a caregiver...
James Madison had his Bill of Rights in 1789. Finally, over 200 years later, caregivers across America have theirs! They may not be law, but they will certainly help you with your continuing journey towards resiliency and compassion satisfaction.
