We have to face this sobering fact: at some point of our lives, we have to both receive and give care. There’s no doubt that caregivers are a huge blessing, but who is looking out for them while they do the ultimate service? Salena McKelvey, founder of The Young Caregiver, wanted to support fellow caregivers during their journey by sharing her own experience while becoming her parents’ caregiver. Caregivers are affected emotionally, mentally, and physically while doing this service, and The Young Caregiver is a supportive resource that encourages them to still prioritize self-care. When it comes to self-love, Salena encourages us to put ourselves first, no matter what other responsibilities you may have. Your well-being is the foundation to any service you provide, and you’re no help to anyone if you haven’t first helped yourself. We will forever be grateful for your loving care and service, Salena. We’re pleased to introduce you to Salena, Queen of Care!
