November is National Family Caregivers Month. Caregiving can feel at times like a thankless job. This November, we celebrate those who lovingly take on extra everyday tasks for those who may not be able to do so for themselves. Whether it's bathing; cleaning; cooking; shopping; or comforting family or the friends we consider family, caregivers need our support too. These individuals often dedicate much of their free time caring for others. This workshop will take a closer look at resources available to those who give that extra care, as well as offer tips for self-care, advocacy, and ways to de-stress. Virtual Presentation via Zoom Audience: Caregivers and Friends & Family of Caregivers Duration: 45 Minutes Hosted by: Glenn Ellis, MPH, CHCE To register for this event, click the button below.
