The Mindful Caregiver:

Why Self-Care Really Matters

Webinar

Many caregivers focus so much on trying to meet their care recipient’s needs that they lose sight of what their own needs are. It can then become difficult for them to recognize how stressed out they really are. This workshop will be inspired to become “mindful caregivers.” Participants will be able to identify how unrealistic expectations caregiver beliefs, difficulty with saying no and holding onto guilt, can fuel stress. Participants will learn how to utilize mindfulness approaches and appreciate how the “spirit-side of caring” can transform the caregiving experience

Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to define what is meant by being a “mindful caregiver.”
2. Participants will be able to list at least four unrealistic expectations that can hold caregivers hostage from making decisions.
3. Participants will be able to define what is meant by entrenched caregiver beliefs.
4. Participants will learn at least three creative self-care approaches for caregivers.
5. Participants will learn how mindfulness approaches can offset caregiver burnout and stress.
