Being an effective caregiver can feel like an impossible feat when combining multiple roles in life including personal responsibilities, work responsibilities, family responsibilities and caregiving responsibilities. Learning how to have a personal life as well as being an effective caregiver is crucial to living a balanced and peaceful life.

This workshop will focus on balancing personal responsibilities along with caregiving responsibilities without compromising the integrity in either area to best equip the caregiver moving forward in their journey. Everett approaches the topic of family caregiving from many different lenses to benefit a wide variety of caregiving situations.

This is a small-group discussion and the number of caregiver participants is limited. Not familiar with Zoom? Join a brief orientation session at 10:30 a.m. before the presentation begins.
