SUMMARY:The Potential Consequences of Caring Virtual Lunch & Learn with Jane Barton
DESCRIPTION:The Potential Consequences of Caring \nThe call to care for a family member or friend is often a life-changing event for all concerned. Since the average duration of care in the U.S. is now over 4 years\, the role of family caregiver demands a commitment to care. All aspects of life are turned upside down when a chronic\, life-limiting disease process arrives on scene. Family caregivers strive to meet the daily demands of care — sometimes struggling to cover all of the bases. Because this is such a significant turning point in life\, have you ever wondered about the long-term consequences of caring? In order to care well and to be well (now and in the future)\, reflecting on this question is prudent. The program is FREE. Registration is REQUIRED. Click on the LINK to register.
