Care for the Caregiver: Stress Reduction for Family and Friends, multiple dates and locations
Caregivers come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and circumstances. Some caregivers may be a wife or husband caring for their spouse; others may be an aging parent caring for an adult special needs child at home; and still others may be members of the "sandwich" generation, middle-age children providing care to their aging parents while also caring for their children who are still at home. No matter what the situation, we know the responsibility of care giving can at times be demanding and stressful. We have designed a program that responds to the needs of caregivers and offers them practical ways to care for themselves.
