Self-Care and Mindfulness
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.
Self-care means all the ways that family caregivers can manage their stress and wind down from the demands of caregiving. You read about it and you hear about it, but far too often we have to be reminded about taking care of our needs. When we are tired or stressed, we don’t know where to start, even if we give ourselves the time. Find something that works for you, but learn a variety of techniques. **Sponsored by the North Central Texas Caregiver Teleconnection**
