Can we honestly say that we love ourselves?
Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons. Experts from around the country share information important to caregiving. Caregivers will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as hear from other caregivers.
Our sessions are geared for the family members taking care of a loved one over the age of 60. Professionals are also welcome to participate as well.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, we all need to truly get our “love priorities” in order. There will be those of us who are feeling happy and thankful for the romantic partners in our lives. Then there will be those of us who are struggling in our relationships, so the thought of Valentine’s Day might make us regretful of those loving feelings that are no longer present. Others might start feeling sad around this time of year, feeling out of place due to their single status. However, being single or in a struggling relationship doesn’t make you lesser. In fact, it can be an opportunity to show yourself some love on Valentine’s Day.
In this “love hour” ESRT has put together self-love tips to help you feel better that apply not only to Valentine’s Day season, but throughout the year to keep your wellness at a high and your woes at bay.
Join Dr. Jamie and TJ for this month’s TYOF to discover how to love yourself today.
