New to Caregiving? You’re Not Alone.

Stepping into the role of a caregiver can happen in the blink of an eye—one day you're helping with laundry or driving a loved one to an appointment, and suddenly, you're managing medications, appointments, and emotional support. You may not even call yourself a caregiver—yet.

But the truth is, 43% of people are caregivers, and that number is growing. Whether you're a spouse, adult child, parent, friend, or neighbor, caregiving is a life-changing journey filled with challenges, sacrifices, and moments of profound love.

In "New to Caregiving? Tips from the Experts for a Successful Journey," we guide you through the early stages of caregiving with practical advice and compassionate support. You'll learn how to:

• Recognize your role and avoid caregiver burnout

• Balance caregiving with work, parenting, and personal life

• Set healthy boundaries and ask the right questions from the start

• Communicate effectively—even with cognitively impaired loved ones

• Build confidence, even without medical training

Written by a nurse and advocate with years of hands-on experience, this book shines a light on the often-overlooked needs of family caregivers. It’s part of a larger mission from Caregiver Relief to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.

If you’re just starting out—or even if you’ve been caregiving for a while but feel lost—this book is your roadmap to a more confident, informed, and sustainable journey.

Because you matter, too.
