SUMMARY:COMPASS for the Caregiver
DESCRIPTION:About this event\nCaregiving 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. \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 a multi-session\, consecutive course being held online. \nBefore registering please ensure that you can virtually attend all 4 weekly sessions listed below. \nFriday\, November 5 (9:00 AM to 11:30 AM) \n\nBeing 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\nFriday\, November 12 (9:00 AM to 11:30 AM) \n\nManaging Your Stress: Learn how stress can lead to burnout and what you can do to prevent or recover from burnout. We’ll explore how to shift our mindset and seek balance in caregiving.\n\nFriday\, November 19 (9:00 AM to 11:30 AM) \n\nBalancing Relationships: Improve your communication skills to identify what you need\, ask for help\, and share the care. The hardest lesson as a caregiver is to regain your identity as a whole person by taking care of yourself first.\n\nFriday\, November 26 (9:00 AM to 11:30 AM) \n\nNavigating the System: Increase your confidence in accessing services\, reflect on your caregiving journey\, and plan for the future to avoid the stress associated with uncertainty.\n\nThe COMPASS for the Caregiver workshop has a $300 value.

SUMMARY:Caregiver Discovery Series: The Art of Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:About this event\n\n\nPersonal boundaries protect us and our relationships with others by providing healthy ground rules. \nBut\, before we can set boundaries\, we must understand what our individual priorities and values are. This workshop takes a look at what we need to be healthy\, helps highlight what our limits are\, and asks what’s holding us back. \nLearning how to implement boundaries without guilt can lead us to living our best life. And\, make us even better caregivers for our care recipients. \nThis is a free event\, with funding support from our sponsor Rivera. \nNov. 25 – Healthy boundaries lead to a healthy self  \n\nWhat are boundaries? \nExercise:  Check-in survey \nYes or No – Good boundaries free you \nWhere do we need boundaries? \nKnowing one’s self \n\nDec. 2 – What’s holding you back?   \n\nPeople pleasing…etc. \nExercise: Body scan \nCreate the bubble (what about the empath?) \nBreakout: Say what you need to say\nBoundary mindfulness \n\nDec. 9 – Setting Limits and letting go  \n\nIt’s not separation – it’s connection. Boundaries improve our relationships and self-esteem  \nBoundaries give us space to grow and be vulnerable \nBoundaries help you take control of your life
