WISCONSIN UNITED
for MENTAL HEALTH

Caregivers assist in the care of someone who is dealing with a mental or physical illness, a developmental disability, or anyone who has difficulty managing daily tasks.  Caregivers often need support and assistance and their needs are sometimes overlooked.  Stress management and awareness of the possibility of depression are important in maintaining the mental and physical help of people looking after others.
