What can Partners on the Path do for you?

Because our founder has been a registered nurse since 1973, we know the litany of challenges you face. Although gratifying, being a compassionate, caring and competent professional is difficult. Over time it can take a toll, deplete your resources and undermine your professional quality of life. Let us help you with the on-line, in-print or in-class resources we developed especially for professional caregivers like you.

  • 1. Self-assessment: The Professional Quality of Life Scale, known as ProQOL, the most widely used measure of both positive and negative effects of working with people who have experienced extremely stressful events. Used with permission on our site, Pro-QOL gives you feedback on the degree to which professional caregiving work has created satisfaction, burnout and trauma within you.
  • 2. Self-care guidance: The 7C’s of Self-Care is our research-based, trademarked approach to caring for yourself as you care for others. These insightful, practical, no-cost guidelines are available on our website, in text and continuing education course formats.
  • 3. Self-care activities: Questionnaires, checklists, discussion guides and self-reflection questions to help you evaluate your work life and ease your stress.
  • 4. Caregiver resources: A vetted list of valuable resources available on-line and in-print from popular or professional sources.
  • 5. Caregiver communities: On-line connections with supportive experts and other professional caregivers who understand and want to help.
  • 6. Why and how to care for family caregivers: On-line continuing education course and links to all Partners on the Path resources for family caregivers.
