9:45-10:45am When Superwoman’s Cape Gets Weary: How to Better Manage Work and Care
Balancing work and family can be challenging, and can be overwhelming for women who strive to do it all. Meeting the needs of our careers, our spouse and children, and even, the growing number who are caring for aging parents, this session will help us understand the role of the family caregiver to be there for those who need you, while also remembering to take care of yourself. Expert advice will be given on how to be an effective caregiver, “time-off” techniques” for all caregivers, and beating stress and depression to help achieve a better, and healthier lifestyle.
