“I was finding balancing the duties of being a primary caregiver for elderly family member with those I have working a full-time job and family commitments to be stressful leaving me feeling overwhelmed.  Signing up for the Changing Perspectives program helped me more than I expected it would.  The program covers caregiver scenarios with insights on how they worked through the challenges they faced.  The workbook gave me the outlet to organize how I would apply the information into my caregiving approach and duties.  Most importantly, taking the time to care for myself.  I enjoyed participating in the discussions attended by others in the Company who were also going through a similar situation.” - Renate T.

“My mom moved in with me after a fall left her with slight cognitive impairment and unable to take care of herself. Initially, I was balancing the caregiving responsibilities and my job pretty well, but found myself emotionally fatigued and overwhelmed within a few months. Being a part of Changing Perspectives helped me to see the opportunity to care for mom as the blessing that it was. The week on Embracing Change was especially impactful as I talked through my emotions and learned to let go and embrace change at a whole new level. I have referred this program to our working caregivers as an opportunity to learn new ways to care for themselves, and their loved ones.” - Christi V.

“I did enjoy the program. I found reviewing the topics gave me a better perspective on my parents health. The approaches to care and talking them through with the small group gave me a much needed positive therapy session. As the topic of the course states, it changed my perspective on providing care to a parent while working. Keep my boundaries, remember to self-care, be more patient and make sure I have a team around me. Most importantly to communicate to my team too.” - David T.
