Caregivers – How are you?

April 8, 2022/in Announcements, Info To Know

This is a question the BFNC Director leading the Age Mastery Series for Care Givers would like to know. According to the National Council of Aging, approximately 40 million Americans provide unpaid care to older adults and adults with disabilities—the majority of whom also juggle a job or other responsibilities.

This important responsibility can be overwhelming for many of us. The April 11, 2022, Zoom Discussion at 6:00 pm is about how to create a plan to take care of you and your loved one. Care Givers Share is an interactive discussion designed for caregivers.

During the workshop participants will hear Caregivers and senior resource experts share how to manage your life as a caregiver – Life lessons learned.

Panelists will share strategies, tools, and resources for coping with stress and exhaustion.
