“Feel Empowered While Caregiving”
Program: Most of us feel powerless and seem to be just surviving our caregiving experience. But no matter what our situation is, we can still find more happiness and strength. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to actually feel empowered, instead of deflated. We’ll look at the choices and control we still have. We’ll explore how to get the appreciation we need as well as how to boost our own spirits. Join us to receive the infusion of energy you deserve for this caregiver journey.
Presenter: Janet Edmunson
Webinars may be available after broadcast for a brief period, but no permanent archives exist.
