Being a caregiver can be lonely. Over time, friends and family may start to fade away and your world begins to feel very small. As you encounter tricky situations, you might struggle with how to navigate them gracefully. This caregiving race is a marathon, not a sprint. Equipping yourself for the long haul is essential. We will discuss when does it make sense to bring in extra support, when might you consider moving your loved one to a care facility and what are the costs of care. Join us for an informative discussion filled with insights, resources, and supports. You don’t have to do this alone!
Following Wendy’s insights, Dr. Jane Tornatore will delve into the transformative power of self-compassion. Discover essential tools to reclaim control, establish boundaries, and harness gratitude in mitigating stress. Depart equipped with actionable strategies to nurture your well-being amidst the demands of caregiving.
