Annapolis, MD (December 5, 2023) - On Thursday, December 7th, at 6:30 p.m., Kim Burton, Aging & Behavioral Health Educator & Consultant will present Caregiver Self-Care. Caregiving can be physically and emotionally exhausting. For family members, caregiving can also lead to additional pressures, such as financial strain, family conflict, and social withdrawal. Over time, caregiver stress can lead to burnout, a condition marked by irritability, fatigue, problems with sleep, weight gain, feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, and social isolation. During this workshop, Kim will help you recognize ways that you can care for yourself, combat the stress of everyday caregiving, and recharge your batteries! The workshop will be held at the North County Office/Hein Building, 7320 Ritchie Hwy, Glen Burnie, MD 21061.
