| The challenges of managing meds, money, time, phone calls,doctor visits, energy spent interpreting insurance, the multiple tasks required just making it through the day, can weigh heavily on the health of the Family Caregiver. Our Workshop offers strategies and tools to help you face the day, and take better care of your own health. Discuss strategies and issues in a small round table setting with experienced caregivers. |
| Several round table discussions occur at the same time. *9:15 a.m. *10:15 a.m. *11:15a.m. *12:15 p.m. *Sessions lead by guest speakers will begin at the quarter after the hour. You may attend anywhere from one to four sessions, or just visit the demonstration stations. There will be several round table discussions, occuring simultaneously. Each session will last between 45 minutes to an hour. The workshop is flexible enough for a person to come during a lunch break, if necessary. There will not be a scheduled lunch for our participants. You are welcome to bring a brown bag lunch, or pick up something from one of our many fast food restaurants. |
| "HANDS-ON" demonstrations will happen through-out the workshop. Learn practical exercises. How to ASK the RIGHT QUESTIONS. How the right adaptive equipment can enhance daily living. |
Interaction is the key... This is not a typical lecture, seminar, or health fare. When it comes to community services, this is a time to put more than a "FACE with the PLACE." When it comes to adaptive devices, this is a place to try them out. Invest an hour or few and reap a better "from now on." Your privacy is important to us, so there is no formal registration. We appreciate you letting us know if you plan to attend, so we can plan on a number of participants. e-mail to: workshop@ingoodcompanymo.net |
GUEST PRESENTERS:
| You can help us "spread the word" by printing "page 1" and posting it. In tool bar select "file," then "print preview." If all text is on page, select "print". Page range... enter "1" to print only "page 1." Thank you for your time, effort and consideration. Family Caregivers are In Good Company. |
