SUMMARY:Caring for Yourself Without Feeling Selfish
DESCRIPTION:As family caregivers\, we often receive messages that we should only focus on our caregiving responsibilities. Therefore\, if a caregiver yearns for more for themselves\, they can be labeled as selfish. As we receive these messages directly or indirectly\, we can begin to feel that these views must be true – but they are not! Join us as we discuss these false accusations and share suggestions on how you can take care of yourself while caregiving – without feeling selfish. This workshop will be offered twice\, but you only need to register once. All who register will receive the recording and a copy of the presentation. \nWednesday 5/21\, 6:30 – 7:30 PM: bit.ly/42XUUuI \nThursday 5/29\, 6:30 – 7:30 PM: bit.ly/3GzgCfR

SUMMARY:Preventing Burnout Through Boundary Setting
DESCRIPTION:Being a caregiver for our loved ones can be gratifying\, but also exhausting and frustrating at times.

All who register will receive the recording and a copy of the presentation.\n\nMonday 5/19 @ 6:30 – 7:30 PM: bit.ly/4ixlVdg\nWednesday 5/28 @ 10 – 11 AM: bit.ly/4lIBx0i

SUMMARY:Caring for Yourself Without Feeling Selfish
DESCRIPTION:As family caregivers\, we often receive messages that we should only focus on our caregiving responsibilities. Therefore\, if a caregiver yearns for more for themselves\, they can be labeled as selfish. As we receive these messages directly or indirectly\, we can begin to feel that these views must be true – but they are not! Join us as we discuss these false accusations and share suggestions on how you can take care of yourself while caregiving – without feeling selfish. This workshop will be offered twice\, but you only need to register once. All who register will receive the recording and a copy of the presentation. \nWednesday 5/21\, 6:30 – 7:30 PM: bit.ly/42XUUuI \nThursday 5/29\, 6:30 – 7:30 PM: bit.ly/3GzgCfR
