Caregivers and loved ones of those who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia need resources and support for coping with the challenges they face. Here are two basic guides for caring for yourself as you care for your loved ones. Key points from both articles include: moderating caring for your loved ones with caring for yourself so that you don’t burn out; gaining knowledge about schizophrenia so that you know you’re not alone and can deal effectively with ignorance you may come across in your community; and having a support network, whether it’s an organized support group or just friends to hang out with. We hope you find these guides helpful.

Link 1 does not work.
How do you cope when a partner will not admit they have a major mental problem? I have been putting up with imaginary crap for many years and it is wearing me down.
Sorry, they moved the publication, try this link instead:
We seek an experienced live-in caregiver for an active, male, young adult schizophrenic in the Caribbean. How can we find this person?
