You Need Care Too: Self Care for the Professional Caregiver
As professional caregivers working with people who are dying, we face challenges other health care professionals do not. This booklet is written for the professional end of life caregiver who carries the responsibility of supporting people through the dying process. This booklet reduces caregiver burnout by providing self care insights and suggestions to make their work healthier and more balanced.
Health care workers are traditionally trained to make people better, not participate in their patient’s dying and eventual death. End of life work goes against all we as professionals have been taught, and that can be challenging.
This booklet is filled with ideas and guidance for the nurse, social worker, nurse’s aide, chaplain, physician, end of life doula, or Eleventh Hour volunteer. Anyone who is immersed in the responsibilities of supporting, educating, and guiding a person and their family through the dying experience can find insight into making their work healthier.
Many agencies provide this booklet while showing our 25 minute film Care For the Care Giver as an inservice to promote self care to their staff and team members.

Staff were touched and happy to receive them.
I was very pleased with ALL of the booklets that I have purchased.
So helpful and very short to read. Exactly what you need when going through difficult times.
Even tho' I am a clinical psychologist, this book was so very helpful. There were many sentences that stood out to me and that I have utilized in my practice. My own husband died six months ago and yet again, I have found a book that continues to help me with my grief. Elegant book and have recommended it to many of my fellow psychologists. Many thanks, Dr. Candy
Hi Candy, thank you for the positive comments about my booklet. I am honored that you are using some of the information in your private practice. You mentioned the death of your husband six months ago. Have you read my booklet My Friend, I Care? It may give you some additional insights during this challenging time. My thoughts and blessings are with you. Barbara
Very helpful for those taking care of loved ones. A great reminder that caregivers definitely need care too. An easy book to read as a reminder that caregivers need time for themselves to provide better care for their loved ones.
Meg, thank you for your comments. Caring for people at end of life presents unique challenges. If we want to stay in the work we, healthcare workers, must "put our oxygen mask on first". Blessings! Barbara
