Share Your Self-Care Tips With NBTS

Have you cared for a loved one navigating a brain tumor diagnosis? If so, the National Brain Tumor Society wants to hear from you! We’re seeking insights from brain tumor caregivers about how you take care of yourself while caring for someone you love.

People often picture a spa day when they think of self-care, but for caregivers, it’s often the small, everyday actions that make the biggest difference.

Your practical self-care strategies and reflections can help inform future NBTS resources and provide encouragement and helpful tips for other caregivers navigating similar challenges.
