Taking Care of YOU: Self-Care for Family Caregivers

Key findings used in wiki

• The resource is a menu of discrete caregiver "tools" (reducing personal stress; setting goals; seeking solutions; communicating constructively; asking for and accepting help; talking to physicians; starting exercise; learning from emotions) — the most operationally useful set of micro-support primitives GiveCare borrows.
• Each tool is small enough to map to a single short SMS flow, validating GiveCare's one-tool-per-conversation structure rather than a long guide.
• "Seeking solutions" and "setting goals" supply a non-clinical problem-solving backbone for GiveCare's "define the problem → one next step" pattern.
• "Asking for and accepting help" and "communicating constructively" give GiveCare its help-seeking and family-coordination primitives (e.g., draft a message asking for support).
• "Learning from your emotions" frames stress regulation as a skill caregivers practice, matching GiveCare's strength-based, non-therapy framing.
