“If you or someone you know is currently a caregiver you can’t afford to miss this incredibly insightful and information packed presentation.

There are over 34 million caregivers in the United States -- almost 100 million people in the U.S. have one or more chronic condition and over the next twenty-five years this number is expected to increase to 134 million Americans. Nearly one in four U.S. households is involved in caring for a relative or friend aged 50 or older. Many caregivers are caught between the needs of their young families and the daunting task of caring for their elderly relatives. Watching a loved one grow old is filled with emotional upheaval, and when you compound that with other stresses—rush-hour traffic, deadlines, sick children, dirty laundry—caregivers are often left holding the bag. They feel a pressure to be all things to all people, often ending up as the martyr and giving themselves the short end of the stick. This witty presentation offers solutions by answering the seven key questions that a caregiver must face:
- How can I juggle my various responsibilities?
- Why do I feel so guilty?
- How can I get family members to help?
- How can I avoid butting heads with my parent?
- How can I foster my parent’s independence?
- How can I cope with caregiving and a career?
- Will I ever get my life back?
