Who Am I Now? The Ever-Changing Role of the Caregiver

Caregiving changes who you are, and nobody warns you about that part. This class is for the daughter who became a nurse without applying for the job, the healthcare professional and social worker sitting across from families in crisis, and anyone who looked up and did not recognize the life they are standing in.

In ninety minutes you will:

• Understand how the caregiving role shifts over time and what it takes from you

• Look at family roles, family meetings, and how to use what each person is actually good at

• Work the what-if questions you have been avoiding, and the service options that answer them

• Talk honestly about physical needs, self-care, and crisis prevention
