The Cancer Support Center Celebrates National Caregivers Month With a Self-Care Workshop

The self-care workshop provides an opportunity for caregiver to network with other caregivers who are facing similar struggles and learn about several topics related to the caregiver experience including: self-care, family roles, relationships with friends and family & stress management. This program will focus on stress reeducation techniques including Reiki share, provided by Insight Awareness Reiki Practitioners and guided imagery.
