SUMMARY:Self-Care and Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOur 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. \nSelf-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** \n

SUMMARY:Demencia y dinámica familiar
DESCRIPTION:Caregiver Teleconnection sessions are one hour learning sessions that can be done via Zoom or over the phone for caregivers of older persons.

Las relaciones familiares pueden ser extremadamente complejas y confusas. El constante tira y afloja de tiempo\, energía y resolución en la creación de una familia amorosa es bastante arduo. Combine estas luchas “rutinarias” con la de cuidar a un ser querido con demencia y habrá entrado en un reino completamente nuevo de dinámica familiar. \n

SUMMARY:An Introduction to the World of Emotional Intelligence
DESCRIPTION: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. \nOur 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. \nEmotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to perceive\, interpret\, demonstrate\, control\, evaluate\, and use emotions to communicate with and relate to others effectively and constructively. Some experts suggest that emotional intelligence is more important than IQ for success in life. \nA multi-year caregiver study conducted by Dr. Dafna Hadar-Pecker found through her research with caregivers of trauma patients that EI enabled caregivers to achieve a higher level of understanding\, and consequently offer a better degree of care. Caregivers with higher EI were able to avoid compassion fatigue and were more successful experiencing “compassion satisfaction.” \n
