Prepare my worksheet ↗WITH OTHERS
Taking care is not
always a solo endeavour.
Listen without deciding for someone else. Offer specific help. Find your own boundaries. Everyday actions deserve clear words.
Support someone close ↗OUR APPROACH
Clarity.
With sources.
Each guide distinguishes public-health guidance from our practical suggestions. Links to the sources are included at the end of every article.
Read our editorial approach
Our guides draw on public health guidance. Each article lists its sources and the date they were checked. These texts have not received independent clinical review.
French and UK sources are identified; local care arrangements may differ. Meal ideas, schedules and conversation examples are editorial suggestions, not treatment protocols.
