Parents and others who care for a cerebral palsy child often forget to take care of themselves. However, it’s important for caregivers to care for their own well-being – to receive for themselves the care, support, and encouragement they so selflessly give to their child.
There are numerous resources available for caregivers. One particularly notable resource for family caregivers is the National Family Caregivers Association, or the NFCA. The group’s website helps to connect caregivers, as well as provide them with resources such as:
- Tips and tools
- Organizations and agencies with information on insurance, respite and training for caregivers
- Advocacy information
- Newsletters and other publications related to caregiving
- Educational resources
- More
Check out the NFCA website to see all that it has to offer.
