SUMMARY:Planning for Caregiving: A Practical and Emotional guide Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Julie Norstrand\, an eldercare consultant\, as she shares ideas about preparing for caregiving. Julie finds most caregivers enter this role with little or no planning. Instead\, they enter the caregiving role in a crisis situation\, thereby making the experience extremely challenging and stressful. This session is optimal for the adult child who is noticing aging-related physical and/or mental or cognitive deterioration in an older relative; and probably starting to worry about how to step in as caregiver.\n\nIn this two-part series Julie will first cover the practical step by step approaches to planning for caregiving. The key points you will gain from this session include: 1) Evaluating the situation / when to step in to offer support; 2) What the conversation should consist of / topics to cover; 3) Setting up a plan collaboratively; 4) Paying for LTC; 5) Work/Life balance; and 6) Services and resources for older adults.\n\nIn the second part\, Julie will speak about ways of managing the emotional challenges that many caregivers experience. The key points you will gain from this session include: 1) What it means to be a caregiver; 2) Caregiver stress syndrome; 3) Emotional stressors; 4) How to manage stress; and 5) Services and resources for caregivers.\n\nPart 1: Thursday\, May 14th from 7PM – 8PM Via Zoom \nPlease RSVP to part 1 by Wednesday\, May 13th to receive Zoom Link.

SUMMARY:Caregiver Connect & Share
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Client Care Specialist Sue Ann Wasserman\, Caregiver Connect & Share is an opportunity for caregivers to share\, listen and learn with and from each other in a positive and caring environment. It’s a safe place for caregivers to share their experiences and feelings about their work and be supported by each other. Caregivers who have worked for SHS for two months to 10 years attend the Caregiver Chat. Topics that have been discussed are: dealing with your feelings around client loss\, help finding new activities to engage your client and asking for feedback on ways to respond to client’s resistance. It’s also a chance to talk about the joy that comes from this work. Come and share or just listen. Come meet fellow Caregivers\, support one another and learn from one another.\n\nPlease RSVP by Monday\, May 25.
