The Division of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) partners with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) in Utah to provide information and resources that support DHS caregivers.
If you are the caretaker of grandchildren or a loved one who is aging or disabled, outside of your work-related duties, consider these tips and resources that can reduce stress and worry in times of crisis:
- Start a conversation with your family and loved ones to enlist support
- Form a team of people who can help
- Make a plan
- Have regular family meetings
- Find community supports and resources
