SUMMARY:COMPASS for the Caregiver (5 Week Workshop | Lacombe)
DESCRIPTION:Caregiving can be a stressful\, isolating\, and overwhelming experience. And due to the COVID-19 pandemic many caregivers are experiencing added levels of stress and anxiety. \nThe award-winning COMPASS for the Caregiver program by Caregivers Alberta helps caregivers balance their own well-being with the challenges of caregiving. This course is facilitated by someone who understands those challenges and is a licensed COMPASS Facilitator with Lacombe & District FCSS. \nThis workshop is a multi-session\, consecutive course. Before registering please ensure that you can attend all weekly sessions listed below. \nThursday\, September 10\, 2020 (1:30 PM to 4:00 PM) \n\nModule 1: Being a Caregiver – Caregiving can be stressful\, isolating\, and have a negative impact on your physical and mental health. Understand your role as a caregiver and assess your strengths\, challenges and overall sense of self.\n\nThursday\, September 17\, 2020 (1:30 PM to 4:00 PM) \n\nModule 2: Building Awareness – Recognizing others’ needs is sometimes easier than seeing our own.
