Welcome To Module One:
In this module, you will learn what caregiving truly means and how it differs from simply “helping out.” You will explore the responsibilities, expectations, and emotional realities of caregiving, whether you are supporting a family member or working in a professional role. Understanding caregiving as a role — not an identity — is important because it helps prevent burnout, sets healthy boundaries, and establishes a strong foundation for safe, effective care throughout the course.
