At The Heart Of Carer's Wellbeing
This vital chapter addresses who cares for the Carer, with so many incidents of low staff retention, sickness, mental health issues, burnout and compassion fatigue rife throughout health and social care settings it is imperative that the Carer’s well being is supported.
Do not underestimate the emotional and physical toll that caring for others can have on us. When we neglect our own self-care, we can become burnt-out, physically exhausted and depressed. Even worse, when we are tired and burnt out, ‘thoughtless’ behaviours can then escalate into abuse, whether physical, or emotional of those we care.
Amanda says, 'You are as important as those you care for'. In this vital, nurturing and inspirational Chapter, Amanda encourages participants to place themselves at the heart of their own care so that they can better care for others.
Amanda’s thirty years of running women’s wellness groups provides a rich sharing of knowledge and understanding of ways to restore energy and hope through challenging times.
