| Family Caregivers are In Good Company is an informal network of friends, neighbors, associates and family members who value the service of folks who care for loved ones in private residences. The name "In Good Company" is registered with the Secretary of State in the State of Missouri, "doing business as" fictitious name. Established in 1988, we stand apart and are not associated with the movie with the same title, or any other website or business with a similar name. The website is maintained and updated by one individual, (a family caregiver) who collects information from other caregivers, media, internet websites, public and private organizations to share in a caregiver-friendly format. |

Boundary Issues, Healthy Self-Talk and
Paying Attention to Normal feelings of Anger,
Depression and Anxiety
Some words from round table leader,
Jo Ann Owen, M.Ed., LPC, NCC
I am in private practice in Arnold at 3608 Jeffco Blvd., phone 636-464-1915.
I treat Mood Disorders (such as depression and bipolar
disorder) and various anxiety disorders, with specialties in the
healing of past trauma and marital counseling. My colleague, Dana
Maxson, specializes in work with children through their teen years. I
am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Missouri, and
Nationally Certified by the NCC. I have been practicing since 1992.
I will be talking about anger and depression/anxiety as NORMAL, with
the ability to help us if we pay attention to such things early.
These are emotions that help caregivers avoid burn-out and MAJOR
depression so that we can see anger, for example, as our friend.
I will discuss boundary issues and the use of assertive language and
healthy self-talk as part of self-care when in such stressful
situations. I will hand out descriptions of dysthymia (mild
depression) versus major depression, and will leave ample time for
questions and answers for most of the time I have.

with where one sibling ends up providing all or most of the care for their parent often causing resentment
and hard feelings. This sometimes leads to grudges that can last for years after a loved one has passed
away. Helpful tips to encourage effective communication and understanding between family members.

"Use it or Lose It"
Brad Abrams, PT, DPT
Come learn about the changes that occur in our aerobic and strength systems as we age, and the
research on how exercise and assistive devices can help -- no matter what your age. And if basic
mobility is getting more difficult, we will look at when to use assistive devcies and the effect they can
have. We will also discuss what evidence based medicine is and give tips on what to look for when
you hear about medical research in the news.

| Transportation Solutions Committee The new service, is called "JeffCo Express" (A logo contest is in progress), will offer accessible, affordable public transportation along a deviated route from DeSoto to Arnold with 26 scheduled stops four round trip per day. TSC is designed to fill the gaps between human service and public transportation services and to facilitate the integration of individuals with disabilities into the workforce and full participation in the community. A deviated route means that as long as a person with a disability lives within a one mile radius of a major designated stop they could called 24 hours in advance and the bus would come to their home to pick them up. The bus would deliver them to a requested destination as long as it too was within a one mile radius of a major designated stop. |
| Older Adults Transportation Service OATS, or Older Adults Transportation Service, which offers mobility options to 87 counties in Missouri, specializes in services for seniors and those who are disabled, but also provides door-to-door transportation to the general public. Its service area covers 50,640 square miles and requires 550 vehicles. No fare is required, though suggested amounts for contributions are posted in each bus. OATS plays a very significant coordination role, by integrating transportation resources throughout its service area into its network. Much of its territory is rural, so that drivers in rural areas maintain their own vehicles, and, in effect, are independent operators.To learn more, visit http://www.oatstransit.org/ |
