This workshop is designed for family caregivers interested in learning about mindful approaches to stress management and developing skills for compassionate self-care. Together we will experience simple practices for cultivating balance wherever we are, with the time we have, as care partners and human beings. In this brief introductory workshop, participants will:
- Learn about recent research outcomes related to stress, caregiving and mindfulness;
- Experience an introduction to mindfulness based stress reduction practices; and
- Explore well-being from a new perspective.
