Resources & Support
If supporting someone else, It is very important that you don’t try to deal with this situation by yourself. Wherever possible, enlist the help of family members, friends, colleagues or health professionals to help share the responsibility. This will not only lessen your own stress and help to avoid exhaustion but can also strengthen the support network of people who can look out for the person.
