SUMMARY:Westlock: COMPASS for the Caregiver (5 Weeks | In-Person)
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 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 the Aspen PCN. \nThis COMPASS for the Caregiver workshop is a multi-session\, consecutive course being held in-person. Before registering please ensure that you can attend all weekly sessions listed below. We will be adhering to AHS recommendations and guidelines for group gatherings\, which includes implementing a 2m (6 ft) social distance between participants. Masks are encouraged upon entering and exiting the building. \nThursday\, October 15th (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\, October 22nd (1:30 PM to 4:00 PM) \n\nModule 2: Building Awareness – Recognizing others’ needs is sometimes easier than seeing our own.
