Caregivers are parents, spouses, brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, nurses, doctors, and all medical staff who care for people with many different health/medical issues because of an injury, mental health disorder, cancer, stroke, heart-related medical issues, disabilities, etc. Most caregivers give so much of their time and energy to make sure that their loved one is cared for, that they find themselves tired and worn out. The caregiver’s mind, body and soul are saying “care for me.” We’ll explore ways to provide support for the caregivers in our communities of faith in this webinar.
