2. Who Is A Caregiver?
A person who provides care for someone
who is not able to provide the care they
need to adequately function.
3. Compassion Fatigue
Caregivers commonly suffer from Compassion
Fatigue a chronic condition of exhaustion which
results from caring for another person with a
serious illness over an extended period of time.
Compassion Fatigue is experienced mentally,
emotionally, physically, spiritually, or a
combination of these.
4. Compassion Fatigue
Underlying Dynamic: Compassion involves
suffering with another person often with the
accompanying desire to alleviate the suffering.
When Caregivers care for someone who is
suffering, they participate in that person’s
suffering on some level whether the Caregiver
is aware of it or not.
6. Reasons For Compassion Fatigue
• Little or no Caregiver self-care.
• Unrealistic assumptions about Caregiver
responsibilities.
• Inadequate support systems.
• Denial of the outcomes of the illness
7. Why Self-Care is Lacking
• Guilt about using time and resources for self-care.
• Not setting or maintaining realistic expectations.
• Lone Ranger: Belief that only the Caregiver can
provide care. Ashamed to ask for help.
• Misunderstood religious beliefs.
• Manipulation of the Caregiver by the person
receiving care and others (frequently family).
8. Self-Care Principles
A Mantra
1. I can only care for others when I care for
myself.
2. I can only respond to some of the needs of
another person.
3. I cannot provide care 24/7/365.
9. Self-Care Approach
Step 1
Caregiver Self-Assessment: what does the Caregiver need to
live a healthy, meaningful, and productive life?
Step 2
Care Receiver Assessment: what does the person receiving
care need to live a healthy, meaningful, and productive life?
Step 3
Assessments Alignment: Which needs of the person receiving
care can the Caregiver respond to while continuing to meet
their own needs?
10. Treatment & Outcomes
Mental Illness is not curable in most cases
but it is treatable.
Goal of treatment is mental stability which
allows a person to live a meaningful and
productive life.
11. Importance of Caregiver Self-Care

balanced, and meaningful life.
