Mediation – An alternate way to resolve disputes
Taking care of sick family members every day is surely a demanding journey. One that demands your heart, strength, and patience every day. On this voyage where you become the beacon of hope for your loved ones, don’t forget to be your own lighthouse! Only when you care for yourself can you bestow the best care onto others.
Luckily, there exists an array of community resources, offering support amid your hectic day-to-day. To help you navigate these waters, we have compiled a trove of resources that support caregivers.
Importantly, if the weight of caring for others and self-care begins to feel like an anchor dragging you down, we urge you to reach out. Your most trusted relatives, your closest friends or even a known professional or call the Carer Hotline operates 24-hour service at 182 183.
The Hotline will be answered by professional social workers and aims to reduce the stress and burden induced by daily caregiving, and enhance their caring capability continuously. It provides instant support by phone to the carers, crisis intervention and outreaching service to those facing emergency situation without support. The Hotline will make referrals to the mainstream welfare units so as that the carers would receive long term casework service.
Do seek help from them! There’s never any shame in asking for help, only strength in knowing when you need it.
