Family caregivers are the quiet heroes of our communities, providing critical care and support for their loved ones in need—often at immeasurable cost. This thought-provoking and impactful program provides practical tools and strategies to better recognize, understand, and support these essential caregivers, while shining a much-needed light on their invaluable contributions and the significant challenges they face.

 

Through an engaging presentation and a dynamic discussion, participants will explore the often-overlooked realities of caregiving, deepen their understanding of "caregiver burden" as a pressing public health issue, and leave equipped with actionable insights. This program is perfect for caregivers, community advocates, healthcare professionals, and anyone committed to fostering a more compassionate and supportive environment for caregivers. Together, let’s elevate awareness and create solutions that truly make a difference.

 

This program is presented by Good Shepherd Community Care and led by Sharon Arkoff, LICSW Lead Social Worker.
