Also joining us is Lindy Boone Michaelis, who was a founding member of Ryan's Reach, a nonprofit designed to help individuals with brain injuries through recovery Free Offer: CareNotes pamphlet "Self-Care for Caregivers" Offer Description: Most caregivers - both those professionally trained, and those given the role by circumstance-share a common trait. They tend to put the needs of others before their own. While this willingness for self-sacrifice can be seen as an admirable trait, it can also eventually wear down a person, making them unable to care for anyone. This CareNotes offers practiced tips for mental and physical self-care. But perhaps more importantly, it reminds caregivers that needing time for themselves is not selfish; rather, it is an absolute necessity for performing the job well. Written by Ralph P. Plumley, Th.M., C.T. Offer Code: CARE-T-F-401
