Caregiving Toolkit

Key findings used in wiki

  • A federal, expert-reviewed source of plain-language caregiver self-care guidance — GiveCare borrows it as the safest reference register for caregiver-facing wording on self-care primitives.
  • Its concrete self-care actions (ask for help; take breaks; maintain sleep, food, and movement; join support groups) map directly to GiveCare's one-next-step micro-support prompts.
  • "Talk to your doctor" appears as a discrete, low-friction action, supporting GiveCare's escalation/help-seeking primitive framed as a normal next step rather than a clinical referral.
  • It points caregivers to navigable national infrastructure (Area Agencies on Aging, Eldercare Locator, ADEAR), giving GiveCare authoritative endpoints for its "one support to ask for" structure.
  • The toolkit's non-clinical, action-oriented framing models the boundary GiveCare holds: practical micro-support and signposting, not therapy or diagnosis.
