SUMMARY:COMPASSION FATIGUE VIRTUAL SYMPOSIUM: Transforming Resilience
DESCRIPTION:No crowds.  Just you and the experts. \nKeynote:  Speaker–Elaine K. Sanchez\, founder of CaregiverHelp.com and author of the un?inchingly honest and surprisingly funny book\, “Letters from Madelyn”\, Chronicles of a Caregiver will demonstrate how developing an “Attitude of Creative Indi?erence” can help you manage caregiver anger\, guilt\, depression\, and grief\, and respond to dementia-related challenging behaviors\, including surprising and inappropriate sexual behavior. \nHealing others often leaves caregivers with little time or energy to heal themselves. The Compassion Fatigue Symposium educates caregivers through interactive professional support and training on self-healing techniques. The Symposium targets those who experience emotional and physical fatigue common to professional and personal caregivers. \nFor more information and schedule\, click the register page below. \nREGISTER
