Nurturing Caregiver Wellbeing During and After Caregiving

When today’s guest first appeared on the Island Treasure podcast, she was actively caregiving for her 99-year-old father. Shortly after the podcast aired, he passed away, and she found herself needing a re-set. You’ll hear about the “reset trip” Theresa Wilbanks was able to take - spending time in nature and practicing self-care strategies! 

Theresa has written and published “Navigating the Caregiver River: A Journey to Sustainable Caregiving” a book she describes as a big hug for family caregivers as it provides strategies to help caregivers with their emotional wellbeing and provides practical and supportive approaches for caregiving. For more information on Theresa’s book and her 12 Sustainable Caregiving Strategies visit her website   SustainableCaregiving.com

During this episode the idea of Self-Caregiving arose which is now the basis for a new limited podcast series called "Self-Caregiving Strategies" which will be co-hosted by Theresa Wilbanks and Alison van Schie - available (July 5th, 2022) on the Whole Care Network.
