How to Reduce Paperwork Stress as a Caregiver
2024-06-22 11:00 - 12:30, 2024-06-20 18:30 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | PA
As caregivers, we are often submerged by paperwork. Hence, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the number of documents we need to keep on hand, from the school, the doctors, and/or the therapists. Where do you even begin? In this workshop, we will discuss what documents we need to have/keep for our disabled family member and how organize them. Join us for this interactive workshop and let’s start reducing paperwork stress together! This workshop will be offered twice but you only have to register once. Everyone who registers will receive the link to the recording.

This is a gentle form of yoga that can be done while sitting. It can improve your flexibility, concentration and strength, while boosting your mood, and reducing stress and joint strain. Taught by Megan Do Nascimento: She is a Philadelphia native who studied dance at the High School for Creative and Performing Arts and Spanish at Temple University. She first practiced yoga while undergoing treatment for breast cancer six years ago. Yoga became a safe space that allowed Megan to disconnect from treatment and feel power. She completed her 200-hour teacher training at Hot Box Yoga in Manayunk.
