Free online workshop can help caregivers navigate the holidays

The holiday season can stir up a variety of mixed emotions for many people. This year, with restrictions on gathering with friends and family due to the pandemic, navigating this time of year is even more complicated, especially for those who are caring for someone who is experiencing a chronic illness or disability.

Chesapeake Life Center understands and wants to help. This team of expert counselors will host “Caregiving through the Holidays,” a free virtual workshop to offer caregivers support, foster connections with other caregivers, and explore coping strategies to use through the holiday season. It will take place via Zoom for Healthcare from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 10.

To register, call 888-501-7077 or email griefinfo@chesapeakelifecenter.org.
