Coaching Philosophy
"Each person holds so much power within themselves that needs to be let out. And sometimes they just need a little nudge, a little direction, a little support, a little coaching. And, you know, the greatest of things can happen,"
This quote by USC Coach Pete Carroll) really sums it up for me – this is the reason that I started Toghers and our Caregiver Coach program. I believe that every family caregiver has the power and potential to be a healthy, pro-active, successful family caregiver. It is a challenging role that many people enter into without the tools they need to manage it well. With direction, support and coaching they can learn how to access the resources they need, make their own care as important as the care they provide to their loved one, and make decisions they can feel good about.
That is not to say the journey won’t have it’s challenges, pain and sad times – it will. But a Caregiver Coach can help caregivers to look at each situation in a solution-focused way and gain a better understanding of their own needs as well as the needs of their care recipient.
