Pursuing Personal Goals While Caregiving
2025-01-27 18:30 - 19:30, 2025-01-22 18:00 - 19:00
New year, new you!

As many set goals for themselves at the beginning of the year, many of us find it hard to pursue personal goals due to the many responsibilities we have as caregivers. This year, we want to encourage you to think about yourself as well. You too can have a meaningful life as you care for your loved one. Join us as we discuss setting and achieving personal goals, in hopes to lead us to our best selves yet! This workshop will be offered twice but you only have to register once. All who register will receive the recording and a copy of the presentation.
