Join AARP Virgin Islands to explore the importance of self-care for family caregivers and how caregivers can take care of themselves.
About the Event
Our four-part “Caring for the Caregiver” workshop series, facilitated by counseling psychologist Migdalia Brathwaite, will deepen your knowledge of the caregiving journey and offer tips for caregivers on how to balance self-care and caregiving responsibilities. This first session will focus on:
- The transition into becoming a caregiver and the internal narratives that support the transition
- Managing multiple caregiver networks
- The importance of self-awareness in the caregiving journey
As an added benefit, you can take advantage of the opportunity for relationship-building with other family caregivers and potentially generate a caregiving tribe whose support extends beyond the sessions.
Topics of upcoming sessions:
10/17: Finding the right balance in managing care
10/22: The stresses of caregiving and the wisdom of self-care
10/24: Transitioning into new roles after caregiving ends
