As rewarding as caregiving can be, many stresses come along with it as well as basic day-to-day physical and emotional challenges.

Feeling Frustrated
Frustrations arise as caregivers deal with the physical demands of helping their survivors function and the psychological demands of handling their survivors' personality changes following stroke.

When You Need a Break
Caregiving can be very satisfying. Helping someone you care for to continue living independently in the community is rewarding, but it can sometimes be strenuous, too.

Tips from Caregivers
Family caregivers offer their concerns, strategies they used to deal with stroke and advice for other stroke caregivers.

Being A Communication Partner
Living with aphasia can be tough on the survivor and the caregiver, but there are ways to work together to ease the difficulties.
