Long-term illnesses can take a heavy emotional and physical toll not only on the primary victims but also on the family caregivers. Who takes care of the superheroes while the superheroes are taking care of their loved ones? Our guests, Dr Johnben Loy, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Karl LaRowe, a Trainer, Consultant and Coach of Compassion Strengths share their personal experiences in their profession, which is heavily burdened by compassion fatigue, and how family caregivers can recognise its signs and deal with it.
