Here's a free guide to give you some ideas on how to show them just how much they mean to you.

A Harvard study has recently shown that as many as 60% of caregivers show signs of compassion fatigue.
LGBTQ+ Caregivers are more susceptible to compassion fatigue compared to non-LGBTQ+ caregivers due to isolation and stigma, making them less likely to seek support and ask for help.
During the COVID-19 Pandemic the quality of life for healthcare professionals fell dramatically. Many are still feeling the fatigue and burnout.
