Description:
The World Health Organization estimates that approximately 90 million family caregivers navigate caring for loved ones with a life-limiting condition such as Parkinson’s Disease or Alzheimer’s Disease daily. Caring for persons with a serious illness affects the biopsychosocial-spiritual well-being of caregivers. This case-based workshop examines three categories of coping strategies unique to empowering family caregivers in connection with best practice methods. Participants will apply the strategies and methods to development of a well-being advancing caregiver-centered intervention plan.
Learning Objectives:
1. Summarize the psychosocial challenges in caring for a loved one with a life-limiting
condition.
2. Examine three categories of coping strategies.
3. Construct a well-being advancing intervention plan integrating best practice methods
and the strategies.
