SUMMARY:Calling All Caregivers: Collaborative Care
DESCRIPTION:For most people rooted in Western culture\, it is difficult to ask for and receive help from other people. However\, the reality is that we will all need help due to the challenges posed by aging and/or illness. So\, how are we to overcome our resistance to assistance? Well\, our friend the goose has much to teach us about giving and receiving care. Look to the skies. As geese fly in formation\, they embody the essential ingredients of collaborative care: shared leadership\, interdependence\, self care\, encouragement\, and trusted relationships. This is not a “fly by night” approach to care! If we choose to emulate the collaborative flight of geese\, all involved in the caregiving journey will be well served. \nSeptember 3\, 2025 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\nSpeaker: Jane W. Barton\, MTS\, MASM\, CSA \nTo Register\, email CardinaLife@msn.com noting your name\, zip code\, the program name\, and date. Once registered\, a link to the Zoom event will be provided as well as a call-in number.
