Managing the Ups and Downs of Being a Caregiver Series

JCC of Syracuse 5655 Thompson Road, DeWitt, United States

People are living longer and longer, which means more people are or will be in the place of taking care of a parent, spouse or other relative as they age. While caring for a loved one is often fulfilling, it can also be an overwhelming task that puts strain on the caretakers and creates a maze of family dynamics as everyone’s roles shift. But don’t worry, you’re not alone! Recognizing the ups and downs of caregiving, the JCC has put together a 5-week lecture series in which you will learn about resources you and your givee may be eligible for, how to handle the hard moments and the ways to find fulfillment in this role. Whether you have just begun your caregiving journey or are years in, you are invited to join us to the below presentations. Each presentation will be followed by an audience Q&A as well as time for attendees to ask one-on-one questions to the speakers and mingle with each other.
