Hard to say because some many are such givers! It can truly be a challenge.

The Mavericks sit down with Elizabeth Paul, Founder of In It Together RN, to discuss the mental health of caregivers. Beth shared some amazing insight into three challenges areas for caregivers and employers:

  • Employers must be able to cope with caregiver shortages and create plans to prevent burnout
  • A few simple interventions can go along way toward preventing burnout
