We would like extend a warm thank you to everyone for taking time to respond to the information gathering survey we sent out recently; the survey was a wonderful way to learn more about the topics and issues that are of most interest and relevance to our subscribers. We had an overwhelming response and hope that those first 100 respondents have enjoyed their Starbucks e-gifts! Based on the survey, one of the leading reasons subscribers join our mailing list is to get more information on the topic of caring for an aging parent or other loved one. Inspired by your feedback, we are hosting our second free public webinar in the Home Care Assistance Healthy Longevity Webinar Series: Caregiver Burnout and How to Protect Your Health.
The webinar will be held on Tuesday, May 1st at 11 AM Pacific, 2 PM Eastern, and will be presented by prominent psychiatrist Dr. Jennifer Hoblyn, Chief Medical Officer of eTherapi and Professor at the Stanford School of Medicine. The webinar will not only explore the challenges that family and professional caregivers experience, but will also provide practical information and tips that caregivers can incorporate in their own lives to improve their health and quality of life. Space is limited, so make sure to reserve your seat as soon as possible.
In addition to the webinar, Home Care Assistance is also promoting awareness of caregiver burnout and stress through community outreach and education. The premise driving the educational initiative is that individuals who are informed about the challenges associated with caregiving are more likely to engage in healthy practices to protect their own quality of life. If you are currently caring for a loved one, please go through our Caregiver Burnout Checklist to better understand the impact of caregiving on your life. With 75 million adults in North America caring for an elderly, chronically ill or disabled family member and the vast majority of these individuals also raising children and holding down full-time jobs, it’s important to know the signs of caregiver burnout and become knowledgeable about prevention. By increasing awareness around the topic of caregiver burnout we hope to empower individuals that provide care to others to take the steps necessary to promote their own mental and physical health.
