The webinar will examine the complex challenges faced by caregivers, as well as the impact on their overall well-being. It will provide insights into the stressors that caregivers encounter and the resilience strategies that can help them sustain their roles.

 

Attendees will conclude the session with a deeper understanding of how to connect caregivers with appropriate resources, support their mental and physical health, and advocate for sustainable solutions within their practice.
