Have you heard of the Los Angeles Caregiver Resource Center? I’m not affiliated with them in anyway but I want to put a good word out because they offer some really cool things, including help with care navigation, respite care, support groups and workshops.
LA CRC focuses on supporting caregivers in the LA area who are taking care of an adult, usually another family member or a friend, who has physical or mental limitations. And we all know caretaking is not easy! It's a situation that needs & deserves support. In honor of National Family Caregiver Month, LA CRC has a free online conference, with several workshops, starting this Friday, 11/1/24.
This year’s conference theme is “The Art of Balance”, focusing on how one can juggle life’s demands, from caregiving to self-care, with greater ease. Below is the list of free workshops being offered. You can register at this link. Check out their website for more information and to learn about what they offer our community and since many of their events are online, you don’t have to live in Los Angeles to benefit from their support.
