About
This educational series offers a supportive space for family caregivers to understand and address burnout. It focuses on the emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that can arise from caring for aging loved ones, providing strategies to restore balance.
Participants will learn to navigate challenging emotions like guilt, grief, and frustration, while building resilience and self-compassion. The sessions include group discussions, reflection, and evidence-informed practices to help caregivers care for themselves while supporting their loved ones.
Each session features a 90-minute group session, followed by optional pre-booked one-on-one support sessions for those who wish to explore their caregiving experiences confidentially.
