Caregiver Support Video Series

This video series provides support for caregivers as they assist with the everyday needs of people with cancer. The videos also provide self-care skills to improve your quality of life and can help you gain confidence in providing care.

Managing physical care

Cancer treatment can lead to physical changes that may require caregivers to learn skills to provide care. Learning how to provide care can help you manage daily needs of your loved one.

Taking care of yourself as a caregiver

Caregivers often spend a lot of time making sure their loved one is taken care of and forget to take care of themselves. Caregiving can be physically and mentally demanding. Caregivers must take care of themselves, too. It’s important that caregivers take some time for self-care to reduce stress and have energy to continue providing care for their loved one.

Advocating for your loved one 

In addition to providing physical care, caregivers speak up for their loved ones. Good communication is one way to speak up about your loved one’s concerns. The video provides insight on how to effectively communicate your loved one’s needs to the cancer care team.

Stories from caregivers 

Hearing from other caregivers can be comforting to know you are not alone and may face challenges that other caregivers face. Hearing stories from others can be encouraging and can help you cope along the journey. In these videos, caregivers share their experiences through the ups and downs of their journey.
