Learn ways to take care of yourself and find balance in your life. Presenters from United Way of Northern New Jersey will give information on local and state resources available to caregivers.
Care giving doesn’t come with an instruction manual and every caregiver’s experience is different. The characteristic that most caregivers have in common is that they are often so focused on others’ needs, that they often neglect to take care of their own needs.
In this informational presentation, learn better ways to take care of yourself and to find balance in your life. The program will also give information on local and state resources that are available to care givers.
