Kristi and Jenny were invited to present their workshop: Preventing Caregiver Burnout: Illuminating Hope in Uncertain Times as part of Direction Home Akron Canton Area Agency on Aging and Disabilities Lunch and Learn Series on Monday, July 11 at 12:00 p.m. ET.

When you take better care of yourself, you provide better care to others. Courage to Caregivers is in the caregiver burnout prevention business.

As both professional and family caregivers, we recognize the importance of taking care of yourself and finding techniques to cope and manage the stress of caregiving, thereby reducing compassion fatigue and caregiver burnout.

This presentation covers understanding stress, the difference between compassion fatigue and caregiver burnout.

Participants will leave feeling grounded, supported, with tools that they can incorporate for themselves (families/clients) for greater health and well-being.
