The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers (RCI) and Sharecare announced the launch of a co-developed mini course to support family caregivers within the mental well-being app Unwinding by Sharecare. Designed to help family caregivers effectively cope with associated stressors and mitigate burnout, the co-developed mini course explores the importance of the role and how seeking support and practicing self-compassion can help build a caregiver's capacity to care for themselves, which also benefits their care recipients. Available exclusively through Unwinding by Sharecare, the course also teaches caregivers about the fight-flight-freeze response and strategies to "reboot" their brains in times of stress, and features techniques for navigating feelings of guilt, grief, and unhelpful thoughts. Available on the App Store and Google Play, Unwinding by Sharecare has a special introductory, limited-time price of $35.99 for one year; the regular price is $59.99 for an annual subscription.
