0:00Michael Chiklis' advice for family caregivers
0:01I just want to encourage people
0:03who are caregivers
0:06to care for themselves
0:08and to know that they're not alone.
0:11I don't know precisely what the statistics are,
0:15but I know that you look left and right of you,
0:19and just about everybody you know
0:21is dealing with this to some degree.
0:23Whether it's their parents,
0:25a sibling,
0:27a spouse,
0:29someone in their world
0:31is requiring care,
0:32and some of them constant care.
0:34And the physical,
0:36emotional
0:39and financial toll
0:41is sometimes just devastating.
0:45Don't let it be that.
0:47Know that you aren't alone.
0:50Know that there are people and
0:52there's there's access.
0:53There's resources for you.
0:55Taking care of someone to
0:57the exclusion of yourself
0:59is not fair or right.
1:02So my hat off to you,
1:04and my heart out to you,
1:06and do what you need to do
1:08to make sure that you're OK.
