How is your stress level?
From Nourish for Caregivers: "Your stress level may surprise you because it can seem "normal" to be feeling the way you do. Caregivers often underestimate exactly how much stress they are actually carrying. Do you think that might be the case for you too? There's no better way to know for sure than to spend a minute to find out for sure."Take this 1-minute quiz designed specifically for caregivers
