It's easy to overlook the ways we support others, especially when it comes to intermittent caregiving. Perhaps you help an elderly neighbor with yard work every few weeks, or regularly drive a friend to medical appointments. These acts of kindness, while seemingly small, constitute caregiving.


Recognizing yourself as a caregiver, even if your contributions are sporadic, is crucial for several reasons.  Firstly, it validates the importance of the support you provide, acknowledging the positive impact you have on someone's life. Secondly, it opens doors to valuable resources and support networks designed specifically for caregivers.  These resources can offer information, guidance, and emotional support, helping you navigate the challenges and rewards of caregiving.  Finally, understanding your role as a caregiver allows you to prioritize your own well-being, ensuring you have the physical and emotional resources to continue providing care and support.
