“In 2020, 23% of American caregivers said caregiving had made their own health worse.” ~ AARP ‘Caregiving: The Growing Crisis that Everyone Must Face (May-2022)’ The implications of caregiver burnout are far reaching. Dr. Smink will help your listeners identify the early signs of compassion fatigue and provide actionable steps to self-care. Dr. Edward Smink was a caregiver for over forty years as a registered nurse, chaplain, pastoral counselor, and executive leader. As a survivor of PTSD, compassion fatigue, and burnout, Ed’s choices to move forward and seek opportunities for growth ultimately led him to creating a coaching for caregivers practice. Caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue are at an all-time high and the reality is that most of us will at one time or another be thrust into the role of caregiver. Whether it’s a family member or friend needing help, having access to self-care skills as a caregiver are essential for developing compassion resilience. Newly revised, The Soul of Caregiving reveals how reflection itself can prove to be an extraordinary source of power. Insights gained from reflection strengthen one's confidence and develop a practice of self-care, a key to resilience. In preparation for your interview with Dr. Smink, we would like to offer you a complimentary review copy in the format you prefer (kindle, print, or audiobook). Ed’s one-sheet is also available with program suggestions and interview questions. Thank you for your consideration. Katrina Marsh Wise Media Group PR
