November is National Family Caregivers Month. Please take a moment to acknowledge the people in your life who are caring for family members who are ill, older and frail, have a physical disability, or children. Often these caregivers work and take care of their homes, and their own challenges in addition to providing care for family members. They deserve the support of friends, family and coworkers.
Do you provide care for your aging parent? Do you help him or her with daily activities of living, housework or medical needs? Then VistaLynk wants to hear from you! We need adults who are willing to share their caregiving stories with us as we continue to build programming designed to help others in similar caregiving situations. Contact us today if you’d like to help us, help others in need!
Brand new this year, VistaLynk launched the 2nd in the Connections™ series – Connections: Changing Perspectives™-a video and workbook curriculum exploring a new approach to person wellbeing for caregivers. Visit here to learn more
