“My radio audience filled with caregivers from all walks of life will treasure each page.”–Joel Markel, host of Preferred Company, President and Founder of Preferred Home Health Care & Nursing Services
“What a delightful, comprehensive guide, reminding us all about the critical importance of self-care. The authors invite us to rethink — perhaps redefine — the concept of caregiver, transforming it into ‘caresharer.’ Take some time with this book, practicing its precious gems, and notice from the inside out the impact it makes on your ability to be present with yourself and all your relations.”–Jamie McHugh, Somatic Movement Therapist and artist
“If you are weary from caring for others and humbled by what it takes, open this book. Sheila K. Collins and her co-author Christine Gautreaux both walk this walk. Sheila is a national leader in the dance of wise caregiving for self and others. Phil Porter and I, the cofounders of InterPlay, are indebted to her for her contributions to our system. We know her backward and forward as an artist, therapist, and teacher. She’s the real deal. Tested, tenacious, tender and true, a wise elder and creative guide for getting through life’s hard stuff.”–Cynthia Winton-Henry, InterPlay co-founder, and authorof Move: What the Body Wants and Dance: the Sacred Art
“In this comprehensive guide, the Stillpoint authors creatively address a neglected component of professional social work education — self-care! As we teach students the best practices to meet the needs of clients, we often fail to provide evidence-based tools to assist students and young professionals in maintaining a strong and vibrant self. Stillpoint could be a helpful textbook for social workers serving others in what turns out to be a hazardous occupation.”–Lynn Coghill, LCSW, Director of University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work MSW Program, retired
