Kristi, Jenny and Cathy were selected to present their workshop: Preventing Caregiver Burnout: Illuminating Hope in Uncertain Times at the International OCD Foundation Online Conference on Saturday, November 5 at 3:45 p.m. ET.

When you take better care of yourself, you provide better care to others. Courage to Caregivers is in the caregiver burnout prevention business.

As both professional and family caregivers, we recognize the importance of taking care of yourself and finding techniques to cope and manage the stress of caregiving, thereby reducing compassion fatigue and caregiver burnout.

This workshop begins with a breathing meditation focused on compassion fatigue, as an embodied experience. Including: learning a breathing technique, light movement, a guided meditation centered on hope.

Followed by a presentation on understanding stress, the difference between compassion fatigue and caregiver burnout.

Participants will leave feeling grounded, supported, with tools that they can incorporate for themselves (families/clients) for greater health and well-being.
