FOR CAREGIVERS

Filling Your Cup as a Caregiver: Techniques for Self-Care

As a caregiver, you tend to put your loved ones’ health, needs and well-being before your own.  As you give, you pour from your cup.  However, if you do not also fill your own cup, you can easily become frustrated, exhausted, stressed and possibly face significant health problems yourself.  In this workshop, you will learn easy, effective stress reduction techniques and how to create your own self-care action.  Learn how to keep your cup half full, so you can be healthy, energized, and an even better caregiver!

Creative Expression—Your Caregiver Journey
How would you describe your journey as a caregiver? What feelings have you experienced? What sadness? What joys? What is your vision for your journey moving forward? How would you like the rest of your caregiving experience to look, to feel? You do have choices and power in this journey. Come to reflect, learn and grow as you create your very own Caregiver Vision Board. Option to share with one another. No art skills needed!

Your Caregiver Mission Statement
As a caregiver and individual in this world, what do you value most? Is it love, generosity, security, family? Reflecting on what is most important to you and to your loved one can help you set priorities, revealing what is worth putting time and energy into, and what to let go of. Your caregiver mission statement can also help you stay focused and positive—especially helpful on the more challenging days! Come for fun, reflection and growth.

Empowered Self-Care Group for Caregivers (optional 6, 8 or 12 weeks)
Ongoing group to support & empower caregivers in their own stress management and self-care. In a group setting, caregivers will reflect on their wants and needs–what they most need to be healthy, balanced and energized (ex. better sleep at night, respite breaks, nutritious foods, laughter, fun, spiritual support, etc). Caregivers will also establish their own self-care action plan and have opportunities to reflect with the group on challenges they face. They will learn how to support their goals through powerful, positive affirmations and visualization, and how to best support themselves in ongoing, long-term self-care. A combination of Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy (a.k.a. Guided Imagery) techniques are used in this group.
