The tip sheet provides caregivers and families with information about how to prevent caregiver fatigue, including taking breaks and utilizing respite care; participating in trainings and conferences; asking for help and learning about services providing support; and sharing experiences with other foster and adoptive families. A list of additional resources also is included.
