Breathing Spaces, also known as respites, are periods of rest or relief from something difficult or unpleasant. They provide a break from the stress and strain of everyday life, allowing people to relax and recharge. Respite care is often used in the context of caring for a family member with a disability or illness, providing temporary relief for the primary caregiver. Breathing Spaces can also refer to physical spaces, such as parks or gardens, which provide a calming environment for people to enjoy.
