Tuesday, June 5th, 4:00-4:30pm

“Persisting in the Face of Caregiver Difficulties: Moving from pessimism to optimism”

Program: Some caregivers, when faced with a setback or challenge, tend to blame themselves and feel like this difficulty is pervasive and permanent. That describes a pessimistic explanatory style. However, it doesn’t serve us well and only deepens the hole we may feel we are in. Learning how to adopt an optimistic explanatory style can lift us out of that funk and toward motivation to persist in the face of our day-to-day difficulties as caregivers. Learn the science and practical application of switching from pessimism to optimism.

Presenter: Janet Edmunson, M.Ed.

“Understanding the Aging Brain”

Program: The brain is a complex organ, and like the rest of our bodily organs, it ages over time. While the brain ages a little differently for everyone, there are some common effects. Some people may develop brain aging diseases that abnormally affect memory, cognition and functioning. People affected by brain aging diseases may exhibit symptoms that interfere with daily life. These symptoms can be scary and overwhelming to older adults and their families. Learn about resources to help your family and loved one navigate these brain changes.

Presenter: Lakelyn Hogan, gerontologist, caregiver advocate

“The Family Caregiver’s Stress”

Program: Caring for a family member or friend is stressful. Caregiving stress is an epidemic in our communities. To raise awareness of caregiving stress, we’ve asked family caregivers to rate their stress level and indicate the source(s) of their stress in our simple caregiving stress survey. In this webinar, Demise M. Brown, founder of CareGiving.com, will share the current results of their ongoing survey and share thoughts about what’s needed to minimize the stress. Survey results were last shared in a 2016 webinar.

Presenter, Denise M. Brown, founder, CareGiving.com
