Quick Tip
Set Healthy Communication Boundaries
Learn to set healthy boundaries while maintaining loving relationships with family and friends. It’s okay to limit how often you provide updates or respond to well-meaning but overwhelming messages.
Have one medically knowledgeable family member serve as the point person for all information. Family members direct questions to them rather than bothering the patient or primary caregiver. This person can filter information, prevent unhelpful medical advice, and provide consistent updates.
