Healing the Heart of Caregiving — One Caregiver at a Time.
HEAL provides emotional support, guidance, and practical tools for caregivers. It does not replace therapy, counseling, or medical care.
Caregiving takes an emotional toll that few people prepare you for. The stress, guilt, grief, exhaustion, and isolation can quietly build until caregivers feel overwhelmed and alone.
HEAL exists to give caregivers a place to breathe, reflect, and regain emotional balance — without judgment, pressure, or expectations.
The outcome: caregivers feel steadier, more emotionally supported, and better able to continue caring while protecting their own well-being.
A Support Tool Within HEAL
The Caregiver Compass
One of the tools caregivers often use within HEAL is the Caregiver’s Compass — a reflective guide designed to help caregivers understand their emotional state, recognize burnout patterns, and reconnect with their own needs.
Inside, you’ll find simple yet powerful tools to:
Identify your biggest sources of burnout and exhaustion.
Create a realistic action plan to restore balance to your life.
Track progress and see how small changes lead to lasting results.
Think of it as your compass through the challenges of caregiving — a way to reorient yourself when the demands feel overwhelming. The Caregiver Compass shows you the direction you need to move in to find balance and restore peace.
👉 Find your true north as a caregiver — let the Caregiver Compass guide you from burnout to balance.

Testimonial
What HEAL Is — and What It Is Not
HEAL is:
Emotional support for caregivers
Education about burnout, stress, and grief
Tools for reflection and emotional awareness
HEAL is not:
Therapy or counseling
Mental health treatment
Medical or psychological care
Some caregivers find that emotional support is enough. Others choose to explore additional professional care. Both paths are valid.

Psychologist • Author • National Caregiver Advocate
Barry Jacobs serves as the Founding Psychological Advisor for the HEAL pillar of Plan • Heal • Earn™. He brings decades of experience supporting family caregivers and shaping emotionally responsible, evidence-informed approaches to caregiver wellbeing.
His role is advisory in nature, helping guide the emotional integrity, tone, and direction of HEAL as it grows.
Barry does not provide clinical services through this platform. Instead, his expertise helps ensure caregivers receive guidance that is compassionate, evidence-informed, and grounded in real-world caregiver psychology.
His involvement reflects our commitment to supporting caregivers responsibly — emotionally, ethically, and sustainably.
Professional Support Pathways
Some caregivers choose to explore additional professional support outside of Plan Heal Earn. HEAL respects the important role of licensed mental health professionals and encourages caregivers to seek clinical care when needed.
Once caregivers feel more emotionally supported, many choose to return to PLAN for continued organization — or explore EARN when financial strain becomes part of the picture.
