"Knowing Your Limits and Creating Balance as a Caregiver" - ACAP Cobb & Cherokee

ACAP Cobb & Cherokee is hosting a free educational program titled "Knowing Your Limits and Creating Balance as a Caregiver" on Thursday, August 21st at 6:30pm.

The program will be held at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Kapperman-Williams Hall, located at 2881 Canton Road in Marietta, Georgia.

“I want to help them. They have always been there for me!” and “I feel so guilty!” are familiar responses from adult children when asked why they dedicate time and other resources to caregiving for their aging parents. Most of us want to help our aging parents, but we also struggle with finding time for our spouses, children, jobs, friends, and personal health. We may begin by visiting more frequently, taking over tasks such as bill-paying, or scheduling and managing medical routines. As our parents age, they inevitably need –and demand – more time from us. And most of us continue to give – preparing their meals, cleaning their homes, driving them everywhere. All too often, as we give more, we begin to feel anger, resentment, frustration, and helplessness. We feel guilty no matter how much we give. We wonder, is it possible to set boundaries, balance our families, and care for our aging parents – and ourselves? How little is too little, and how much is too much?

This program is designed to help adult children expand their perspectives about caregiver guilt and other emotions, understand the importance of proactively managing their guilt, and present strategies for setting boundaries and balancing family.

Program Presenter: Elizabeth Miller, Host of the Happy Healthy Caregiver Podcast, Certified Caregiving Consultant, and Certified Senior Advisor
