Beyond Self-Care: Real talk about caregiver stress and supporting mental health

Self-care is important, but it can seem impossible when life feels overwhelming and out of control.

Being a caregiver can feel that way.

Uncomfortable and conflicting emotions are often part of a caregiving journey, but we don’t talk about them because we feel ashamed, guilty, or embarrassed.

Join us for a presentation that looks at the ways being a caregiver can impact mental health, suggests places you can turn to for support, and will remind you to treat yourself with patience and grace.

We’ll discuss:

• • Accepting negative feelings
  • Coping skills for depression, anxiety, and stress
  • Resources for respite
  • Setting boundaries
  • Grief and loss
  • Talking with providers and employers about your needs

Date:

Thursday, December 3, 2026 | 10 am – 11 am | ADRC
