TNP315 Strategies to Address Caregiver Burnout with Carmen Spagnola

Production Note: I used a different recording program than usual without any background noise dampening so you get to hear the summer storm roll in, my dog, Mona slurping her water, my movements as I shuffle stuff on my desk, etc...So real! So high def! So intimate and interactive! Trigger warning: Discussion of suicide and brief non-specific mention of sexual assault, overall a bummer of a topic but I try to keep it moving along fairly briskly and we end with some good coping strategies. On this Mother's Day weekend, I'm taking about some grief-y things and some tough things, and also some funny things and some empowering things. If you're a caregiver nearing the end of her rope, this is for you.   International Crisis Lines Quality of Life assessment: https://qli.uic.edu/ Professional Quality of Life Scale (Satisfaction, Compassion Fatigue and Burnout): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vzvQVeakBzCbjDCaypwZ_dEy3vHs-37K/view?usp=drive_link   https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/statistics/suicide   https://sprc.org/about-suicide/suicide-data/suicide-by-age/   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3603326/   https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2791161   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7292717/   https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjopen/9/12/e032391.full.pdf   https://www.explorationpub.com/Journals/ei/Article/1003241   Come join us in The Numinous Network for some structured social interaction! 💖
