SUMMARY:Building a Circle of Support: Practical Ways to Ask For and Accept Help
DESCRIPTION:Caregiving is not meant to be a solo act—yet most people struggle to ask for and accept help due to guilt\, embarrassment\, obligation\, fear of burdening others\, or a strong belief that they have to “go it alone.” Over time\, these barriers can affect both your well-being and the well-being of the person you are caring for—especially when dementia is involved. \nIn this engaging workshop\, we’ll explore the benefits of accepting help\, discover how asking for support is a strength and not a weakness\, and how to do so with greater ease and self- compassion. We’ll discuss practical ways to create your own circle of support and discover how the skill of asking for and accepting help can promote better balance\, protect against social isolation\, and build a more sustainable model of caregiving that works better for everyone. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify personal and practical barriers to asking for and accepting help.\nUnderstand how asking for support is a strength and not a weakness.\nDiscover practical ways to create your own “circle of support” to share the caregiving load.\nDescribe the benefits of receiving help for both the caregiver and the care receiver—especially in cases where dementia is involved.\n\nFree to attend (Sponsored by the Colorado Respite Coalition) \nRegister: https://buildingacircleofsupport.eventbrite.com
