Mentoring for Caregivers
An AIM Learning Circle Event
When we say "caregiver", we typically refer to anyone who provides care for a person who needs extra help.
However, do we really know and understand what it means to be a caregiver? What is it like to dedicate one’s life – day in and day out – to providing help to someone else?
During this session, we will pause to explore the areas in which caregivers might need support and discuss the issues many of them are facing.
Our discussion will focus on how mentoring could support caregivers and empower them to be better at self-care, which is a critical part of care giving.
Facilitators: Dr Kate Lazarenko & Tamsin Greulich- Smith
Note: limited attendance. For an effective discussion, we need a minimum of 10 Pax and will be limited to 25 Pax.
