VIRTUAL – Self-Care Sampler for Family Care Partners

Self-Care Sampler for Family Care Partners

Thursdays, April 28 to June 2

Deadra Ashton, M.Div., BCC

Caring for someone you love can sometimes be lonely and exhausting – but it doesn’t always have to be that way. In this class you will meet others who are walking the same path. Together we will explore concrete ways to replenish energy and lift spirits through supportive conversations and a variety of self-care practices:

• Mindfulness
• Mindful Drawing
• Finding Strength and Balance through Movement
• Health Prevention and Promotion

This 6-week virtual program was created for family caregivers to provide a variety of evidence-based self-care practices. These practices can help improve mental and physical health by relieving stress. Sessions will take place once a week for 90 minutes. Each will start with a centering exercise and focus on a new form of self-care.

This class is part of a research project. If you choose to participate you will be asked to:

• Complete a pre and post survey about your level of stress
• Commit to attending all 6 class sessions
