In most settings, caregivers know a lot about their clients’/patients’ illness(es), but what about their wellness? That is, the parts of them that remains well and functioning despite not having perfect physical or mental health.

What all that means exactly will take some time and discussion between us over time as this blog unfolds. But I’d like to start with a wonderful example of enhanced wellness that happened between one of our caregivers and clients a few months ago.
