In this episode we sit down with Brittney Fair, Training Lead for Rogers Community Learning and Engagement and WISE, to explore the emotional toll of caregiving, especially for those supporting loved ones with mental health challenges.
Brittney brings her expertise and lived experience to a conversation about burnout and compassion fatigue, two often-overlooked realities for caregivers. We discuss how these emotional strains show up, why they’re so common, and what caregivers can do to protect their own well-being while continuing to care for others.
Whether you're a parent, partner, sibling, or friend walking alongside someone in their mental health journey, this episode offers validation, insight, and practical tools to help you stay grounded and supported.
