SUMMARY:COMPASS for the Caregiver (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Caregiving can be a stressful\, isolating\, and overwhelming experience. And with the COVID-19 pandemic many caregivers are experiencing added levels of stress and anxiety. \nOur award-winning COMPASS for the Caregiver program helps caregivers balance their own well-being with the challenges of caregiving and is facilitated by someone who understands those challenges. \nThis COMPASS for the Caregiver workshop is being held online over the span of 4 consecutive weeks. Before registering please ensure that you can virtually attend all 4 sessions listed below. \nWednesday\, May 6th (1:00pm-3:00pm) \n\nModule 1: Caregiver Characteristics – Recognize your strengths\, needs\, and challenges as a caregiver and take pride in your role. You’ll examine emotions and feelings in this module and help put challenging thoughts into perspective.\n\nWednesday\, May 13th (1:00pm-3:00pm) \n\nModule 2: Managing Stress – Learn how stress can lead to burnout and what you can do to prevent or recover from burnout. We’ll explore grief and loss and how to foster hope and seek balance in caregiving.\n\nWednesday\, May 20th (1:00pm-3:00pm) \n\nModule 3: Balancing Relationships – Improve your communication skills to identify what you need\, ask for help\, and share the care.
