There are many ways in which families can support working carers and help them to achieve a better work-life balance.

1. Psychological/emotional support
Family members can provide emotional support by allowing caregivers to express stress and emotions and promote mental health.

2. Concern for health
Family members should care for the health of working caregivers, encourage them to have regular check-ups and provide support to help them maintain their physical and mental health.

3. Sharing housework
Family members should share housework to reduce the burden on working caregivers.

4. Understanding and support
Families should be understanding of the work stress and responsibilities of working caregivers and provide them with emotional support. This includes respecting their working hours, encouraging them to pursue their professional goals, and providing them with encouragement and understanding.

5. Planning together
When developing a family schedule, family members can participate in joint planning to ensure that everyone's needs are met and to provide additional support for working caregivers.
