About the campaign

About the program

Caregiving can be mentally and emotionally demanding. From managing daily tasks to navigating complex decisions and emotions, it’s common to feel overwhelmed or stretched thin. Over time, this constant pressure can lead to stress and analysis paralysis that impact both wellbeing and confidence.

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, this campaign is designed to help lighten that mental load for employees. Wellthy provides practical tools, resources, and guidance to support emotional resilience, reduce stress, and make caregiving decisions feel more manageable.

It’s a reminder that with Wellthy, caregivers don’t have to navigate caring for their loved ones alone.

The Mental Load of Care: Managing Stress, Guilt, and Decision Fatigue

Live and On Demand Webinar - 30 minutes

Event registration page

Caregiving often means juggling countless tasks, emotions, and decisions, leaving many feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted. The constant need to plan, choose, and anticipate can lead to stress, guilt, and what’s known as “decision fatigue.” We invite you to attend an upcoming event hosted by Wellthy, our benefit partner for care coordination: The Mental Load of Care: Managing Stress, Guilt, and Decision Fatigue.

On Wednesday, May 20 at 12 pm ET / 9 am PT, Wellthy care experts will explore strategies to lighten the mental load, set realistic expectations, and build emotional resilience while caring for others. You’ll also have a chance to ask questions during a live Q&A at the end of the session.

Campaign messaging

• The mental load of caregiving is real. From constant decisions to emotional pressure, caregivers often carry more than they realize—leading to stress and decision fatigue over time. Wellthy, our care coordination partner, helps you sort through complex choices and focus on what matters most. Sign up to connect with a Care Coordinator who can help you navigate care decisions, set realistic expectations, and reduce the stress.
• Caring for someone you love often comes with guilt and self-imposed pressure to do everything “right.” Many caregivers struggle to balance their own needs with the needs of others. For Mental Health Awareness Month, Wellthy is focusing on managing the emotional side of caregiving by offering guidance and strategies to help you release guilt, build resilience, and protect your mental and emotional health.
