New Year’s Resolutions for Caregiver Well-Being

Registrations are closed for this event

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.

This month Dr Jamie & our Caregiver Teleconnection provides caregivers a new and fresh start for planning, for self-reflection and self-care as we transition into the new year. We know intuitively that for quality of life, caregivers must focus on improving their overall health.

It’s a common tradition for most people to launch the New Year with a resolution – it’s a way of creating a fresh start for some and reinventing yourself for others. These New Year’s resolutions require individuals to set new goals in order to achieve expectations.

Unmanaged stress negatively affects personal relationships, general mood, and one’s overall well-being. It also effects our loved ones health. This is why self-reflection and self-care are critical to the health of us as caregivers. It’s time to stop pouring from an empty cup – meet your own needs so that you can be a better caregiver.
