Caregivers need self-care, too!

*This session was recorded during PKDCON 2021*

Remember the rule: put your own oxygen mask on before you assist others? Caring for yourself is one of the most important things a caregiver can do and it is very often forgotten. In this session, we discuss the importance of self-care and the consequences to your health when self-care isn’t prioritized. We also discuss practical suggestions for managing care of a loved one with PKD and still taking the time to care for yourself.

Learning objectives
- Understand the health risks associated with not taking care of themselves as a caregiver.
- List ideas as to how they might start prioritizing self care.
