2024 Cha Chi Ming Seminars in Integrative Medicine: Care for the Caregiver
“But I feel guilty”: Psycho-Spiritual Issues in Caregiving
Join us for this free virtual seminar! Caregivers — individuals who provide care and support to those who may be ill, elderly, disabled, or in need of assistance with daily tasks — will learn how to lessen the mental and physical strains of caregiving.
Whether you’re a family member, friend, or someone who embraces caregiving in various aspects of life, this series is for you.
Presented by Daniel Wolpert MA, M.Div
Challenges in caregiving arise not simply because of the time and energy required to care for a loved one, but also because caregiving is a complex psychological and spiritual endeavor. Most caregivers experience feelings of guilt or shame or are torn between time spent with loved ones and time taken to live an independent life.
In this workshop we will explore these complexities and discuss practices that will help us balance compassion, caregiving, and self-care, so that we may arrive at a place of acceptance and peace in the face of life’s difficulties and frailties.
