The 5 Myths of Caregiving: Transforming Your Burden into a Blessing
For many people, “caregiving” is practically a four-letter word that calls to mind paralyzing stress, crushing responsibilities, and the painful sacrifice of time, freedom and even money. In this inspiring presentation, Geoff challenges the common myths that surround caregiving, offering a fresh perspective and hope to those who are on – or anticipate embarking on – this path. As Baby Boomers age, the demand for caregivers – professional and “amateur” – is exploding. Help dispel the misconceptions that keep people in resistance to this sacred form of service.
Self-Care Strategies for the Male Caregiver: A New Role, a New Approach to Life
Caregivers often feel isolated. Not only do they need to shift time and attention away from friends, goals and normal activities to serve their loved ones, they often feel like no one understands the stressful and overwhelming challenges they face. Male caregivers face this – and much more.
Not only does caregiving fly in the face of many traditional gender stereotypes, men often struggle to acknowledge how the rigorous demands of caregiving affects their mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health.
During this insightful and inspiring presentation, Geoff opens up about his own journey as a male caregiver and offers the unique insights, understanding and guidance that men need to hear. Your attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to succeed in their new role, an appreciation for their unique strengths as caregivers, and a plan for moving forward while ensuring their own needs are met.
Mastering Self-Care: The “Oxygen Mask” Approach for Intentional Caregiving and a Joyful Life
Caregiving can be draining. As responsibilities gobble up time and energy, it’s normal for caregivers to pull away from other people and the activities that nourish their hearts, minds and souls. Although normal, such sacrifices are detrimental. Caregivers often fall into an inward, downward spiral to a place where they lose themselves, important relationships, and even their ability to enjoy life. Sharing practical tips that can be used immediately, Geoff helps caregivers prioritize their own self-care … so they can open up to form deeper relationships with their loved ones … and more meaningful, richer lives.
