Studies show that caregivers report higher levels of stress than non-caregivers. And some days, it may seem impossible to find moments of peace.
To help, we’ve created this collection of guided meditation recordings for you to listen to at your leisure whenever you may need a mental breather. We have also added anxiety relief tips and resources. As the phrase goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup! We hope you’ll take some time for yourself today or in the future to just sit, relax, and breathe.
