Description
JFCS of the Suncoast will host a free seminar by Dr. Barry Jacobs and Dr. Julia Mayer, authors of the book, AARP Meditations for Caregivers. With over 40 million Americans providing unpaid care to their family members and friends each year, often without hesitation or complaint, caregiving does pose formidable emotional and logistical challenges. Sharing their experience as both seasoned caregivers and clinical psychologists, Drs. Jacobs and Mayer will discuss solutions to the difficult challenges associated with caregiving. Through the power of caregivers' personal stories, they will discuss techniques for stress management--including acknowledging your limitations, seeking encouragement, and learning to look at the big picture - providing a myriad of tips to make caregiving easier! Space is limited! RSVP to Caregiving Helpline at (941) 364-7560.
