Self Care for Caregivers in the Hospital

Suggestions and resources for making sure you aren't trying to pour from an empty cup.

Dear Parent, Your child is in the hospital. We’ve been there, too. Sometimes we’re nearly overcome with stress. Other times we “power through” only to “crash” when we get home. There’s got to be a better way, but we often don’t even know what options we have to help us keep our sanity. We’ve put together this reference card to share what some of those options are. We hope it helps you have a better hospital experience.

Final nudge: drink lots of water. You can get your steps in with trips to fill your cup and to the bathroom. Hang in there!
