Care for Caregivers

You Cannot Pour from an Empty Cup

Supporting the mental health and well-being of frontline workers, counselors, and caregivers.

CFC

Care for Caregivers (CFC) is a workshop designed to support the mental health and well-being of people who care for others, including counselors, community health workers, social workers, and frontline staff. Working with trauma survivors can take a toll, leading to burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma.​

CFC provides caregivers with tools for self-care, stress management, and emotional resilience so they can continue supporting others without sacrificing their own well-being.

How it works?

CFC workshops focus on:

  • Disseminating psychosocial education to frontline workers​
  • Establishing emotional safety and awareness​
  • Sharing stress management techniques​
  • Building a self-care plan for sustainable practice


Sessions are interactive and experiential, creating space for caregivers to process their own experiences and build peer support networks.

Why CFC Matters?

Caregivers often absorb the pain of those they serve. Without proper support, this can lead to:

  • Emotional exhaustion and burnout
  • Reduced effectiveness in their work
  • Physical symptoms like sleep problems, headaches, and fatigue
  • Secondary traumatic stress


CFC helps caregivers recognize these signs and build sustainable practices to protect their well-being.

Who is this for?

  • Psychosocial counselors and mental health practitioners
  • Community health workers and frontline staff​
  • Social workers and shelter staff
  • NGO and humanitarian workers
  • Anyone in a caregiving role experiencing stress or burnout
