Caring for the Caregiver

With so much on their plate, Caregivers often ignore their own needs. Much has been written about the “Sandwich Generation” of adult children who are simultaneously caring for their own children and their aging parents. It is no wonder that many caregivers express symptoms of anxiety, frustration, depression, guilt, and anger.

With the support of professionals and the encouragement of other caregivers, Caregivers’ Connections participants learn about strategies, tips, and resources to help them lessen their burden and negative thinking. In addition, many participants make new friends with whom they speak outside of the structured group telephone time.
