Caregivers in Focus: Recognizing and Supporting Family Caregivers in Our Communities

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.
