Losses and Mixed Emotions of Caregiving

Losses and Mixed Emotions of Caregiving

Discover Caregiving Relationships Webinar Series

Caring for a dependent adult is much like riding a roller coaster.  At times you are at the top experiencing the rewards that come from caring for another person, and at other times you may feel like you are plunging down a long hill.  Caregivers may also feel as though they are alone in their journey, but they are far from it.  There are over 34 million people in the U.S. caring for someone over the age of 50.  "Discover Caregiving Relationships Webinar Series" is designed for these caregivers, to help address the many issues and challenges that they face in their current role.  Topics like changing relationships, effective communication techniques, difficult emotions and losses, caregiver self-care and eldercare services will be covered in this six-part series.

Discover Caregiving Relationships webinar series will be held on Thursdays, 6:30 - 7:30 PM starting October 8 - November 12.  There is no cost to attend the program, but early registration is requested.

FAQs for Learn Calendar Users:

Will a recording be available?

That is entirely up to the host of this webinar/online event. If this is an eXtension Foundation hosted event - we will update this calendar listing with a link to the recording usually within 48 hours. Keep in mind, many of the offerings found here in Connect Extension are brought to you by your colleagues across the system. While we encourage them to update their listings with recordings, it is entirely up to them. 

How do I know if it is an eXtension-hosted event?

eXtension posts publicly our events to two calendars - the eXtension Foundation Member Calendar and the Opportunities for Cooperative Extension Calendar.  All other events coming from across Cooperative Extension are posted to the Learn Calendar or to one of the regional calendars. All calendars populate to the same main calendar on Connect Extension. To tell the difference between what events are posted to what calendars easily, you'll see the name of the calendar posted above the title of the event if you scroll to the top. 

What if I have trouble accessing this webinar?

Please contact the author of this calendar event. The individual that posted this event will have their username automatically listed at the bottom of the body of their post, right above the social media buttons. When you hover over that name, you are able to send them a private message.
