It is essential to understand how stress leads to compassion fatigue and possibly burnout, and that health and well-being through self-care is a vital solution. In this webinar, Courage to Caregivers will review the components of stress and self-care: (1) what exactly is self-care, (2) what is well-being, (3) understanding stress and its effects; (4) how to plan, prioritize and make time for self-care, and (5) busting the myth that self-care is selfish. At the end of this workshop participants will leave with a framework for creating a self-care plan. Lastly, the webinar will inform caregivers about an evidence-based care-coaching program from Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging, BRI Care Consultation™, that is available for free in various counties in Ohio and West Virginia to support individuals with, or at risk of, dementia, including individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their caregivers. Please join us for this opportunity to learn more about preventing burnout and creating a self-care plan.
This webinar is presented as a part of the Expansion of Dementia-Capable Communities within Urban and Rural Settings in Ohio using Evidence-Based and Informed Programming project, funded by the Administration for Community Living, Alzheimer’s Disease Program’s Initiative.
