Therapists, teachers, nurses and hotline counselors are professional helpers. But millions of other people in our society could become or are already nonprofessional helpers or caregivers. It is important to acknowledge if you fit into this growing group. Many of the over seventy-eight million baby boomers in the United States now find themselves attending to the needs of their aging parents. With better healthcare technology and pharmaceutical drugs, Americans are living longer than ever before. This challenging reality is growing, as there is one American turning sixty years old every ten seconds! If you find yourself in this latter category, it will be wise to create an ongoing self-care plan since you may find out too late your responsibilities to helping your aging parents overwhelm you. Plan now…begin integrating self-care strategies into your life so these healthy habits follow you wherever you end up as a caregiver.
