Join as we aim to enhance caregivers’ and healthcare professionals’ insight into the needs of older spousal caregivers, and broaden caregivers’ coping repertoire. As people live longer, more and more older adults will be sharing this unique experience. We’ll discuss the good and bad of this role later in life; prioritizing self-care despite the difficulties of managing caregiving responsibilities, and possibly finding meaning in them. We invite both caregivers and healthcare professionals to join us in exploring these essential insights and strategies. Stay for our Q & A.
