SUMMARY:COMPASS for the Caregiver (April 14 to May 5)
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. \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. \nCOMPASS for the Caregiver is a multi-session\, interactive\, online workshop series. \nSession 1 “Being a Caregiver” | April 14\, 6 to 8:30 p.m. \nCaregiving 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. \nSession 2 “Managing Your Stress” | April 21\, 6 to 8:30 p.m. \nLearn 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. \nSession 3 “Balancing Relationships” | April 28\, 6 to 8:30 p.m. \nImprove 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. \nSession 4 “Navigating the System” | May 5\, 6 to 8:30 p.m. \nIncrease 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.
