MALE CAREGIVERS: HOW TO THRIVE WHILE CAREGIVING

Men are socialized to be stoic, self-reliant and self-sacrificing. That’s a recipe for trouble when caring for others dealing with serious health issues. Care partners need to be able to feel and reveal their struggles to navigate emotions such as resentment, depression and anxiety. Join us and guest speaker, Ed Frauenheim, author of Reinventing Masculinity, for this session. Learn how male caregivers can thrive by exploring burdens of caregiving, discussing how traditional expectations for men can hurt, and developing new practices to help improve wellbeing.
