Caregiver Planning and Stress Management
Communication techniques, a four-step planning method and a shared plan template for families caring together.
One sibling does the appointments, another gives opinions from afar, and nobody has said what they need. Putting the conversation into words takes preparation. This deck gives you phrases to use, a method for deciding, and a plan template for the whole family to share.

This is a ready-to-use, editable PowerPoint deck of 51 slides on family communication plans for caregiving. It teaches I Feel statements and the XYZ formula, a four-step problem-solving method and a plan outline template, with trackers and checklists. It suits family caregivers, siblings, facilitators and wellness creators.
The deck begins with the caregiver role and the toll it can take: warning signs, risk factors and the difference between burnout and balance. A chapter on self-care and demands covers time, energy and financial pressures, with a vignette about an overwhelmed daughter managing medications, meals and appointments.
Chapter 3 is the communication toolkit. It covers open communication, overcoming barriers, the Disarming Technique, Thought and Feeling Empathy, I Feel statements, affirmations and the XYZ Formula for clear requests: I feel X when you Y in situation Z, and I would like something specific.
Chapter 4 builds the Family Communication Plan in four steps: identify the problem, brainstorm solutions, evaluate them and decide on an action plan with roles. A plan outline template and a sibling-divide vignette show it in use. Chapter 5 adds routines, a medication tracker, appointment tracker and daily and weekly checklists, and the final chapter covers support, accepting help and setting realistic goals.
