Caregiver Comfort Initiative
At TYSS, we understand the critical role caregivers play in the lives of youth experiencing mental health challenges—and we know how often their own well-being is overlooked. That’s why we created the J.R. Program: to provide caregivers with the support they deserve.
The first initiative of the JR Program is the Caregiver Comfort Initiative. This initiative will provide complimentary self-care gift baskets to caregivers, offering comfort, encouragement, and resources to help them prioritize their own well-being while navigating the complexities of their loved ones' mental health journey..
Each gift basket includes:
- Self-Care Essentials: Items such as aromatherapy products, soothing candles, relaxation tools, journals, and gift cards for local restaurants or food delivery services to promote relaxation and stress relief.
- Health and Wellness Items: Herbal teas, nutritious snacks, and vitamins to help caregivers maintain their physical health during difficult times.
- Resource Materials: Educational books, guides, and materials on mental health, caregiving, and self-care to empower caregivers with knowledge and tools to manage their unique situations.
The J.R. Program reflects our belief that caregivers are better equipped to support their loved ones through recovery and healing when they take care of themselves.
