Caring for Someone You Love?
You Don’t Have to Do It Alone.
Caring for a spouse, family member, friend, or loved one is an act of compassion, but it can also bring unexpected challenges. Whether you’re currently providing care, beginning to take on that role, or thinking about what caregiving may look like in the future, it’s important to know that support is available.
Caregiving can sometimes feel demanding, leaving little time to focus on your own needs. Many caregivers experience stress, uncertainty, or simply wish they had more information and guidance along the way.
Join us to connect with others, learn about helpful resources, and discover practical strategies for caring for both your loved one and yourself. Together, we’ll explore ways to navigate the caregiving journey with greater confidence, support, and balance.
Taking care of yourself is an important part of taking care of others.
This event takes place in English.
