Family Caregiver Series
Managing Stress before Stress Manages You!



Description of Event: 

A healthy body, mind, and spirit are essential to meeting the challenges of aging and of caring for an aging parent, spouse, and others.  Each of the four sessions will focus on self-help tools, resources, information, and support for both the older adult and their family members.  Stress management is key to keeping oneself healthy and a variety of Certified Senior Approved Services will be promoted as resources to assist the family caregiver; lessening this stress by learning who to reach out to, when, and why. 

Though primarily focused on aging older adults and the families that care for them,
this series is just as valuable to those with disabilities,
those within the M.R.D.D. population, those with chronic illnesses
and their family members as well.

Dates:
  Each Thursday in February (1, 8, 15, and the 22nd)

Time
:  5:00pm Registration (snacks, mingle, meet those hosting tables, resources tables)
Program runs from 5:30 to 6:30 and then

  The Day’s Inn, 5555 Brecksville Road, Independence Ohio 44131
