Upcoming VPAP Exclusive Wednesday Wellness Webinars:
Care for the Caregiver
October 28, 2026
12 - 1:00 p.m.
Registration Link
*This presentation has a focus on human caregiving. That said, the emotional toll and the tools used to develop good coping mechanisms are the same for those providing care to animals and experiencing 'compassion fatigue'
The role of caregiver, while often rewarding, can also take a tremendous toll on individuals both emotionally and physically. It is critical that caregivers look after themselves as well as the person in their care. This principle is particularly important for members of the sandwich generation who are juggling both elder and childcare responsibilities. Whether participants are already caring for an aging family member or plan to take on this role in the future, this seminar will provide important information to consider.
Objectives
- Understand the emotions typically experienced by caregivers.
- Implement strategies to make caregiving easier.
- Develop healthy caregiving habits and positive coping skills.
