The Sandwich Generation: Caring for Both Children and Parents
Overview:
Giving to work and family at the same time can be difficult for anyone, but for people in the sandwich generation—those who care for children and elderly parents—life can be especially demanding. Children need parents to look after their physical needs, take an interest in their activities and give them emotional support and guidance. As parents age (and particularly if they become ill), they may need their children’s help with personal care, financial matters, and routine errands and tasks. This seminar will encourage participants to tune into important considerations in their lives with respect to caring for elderly family members, caring for children and grandchildren, as well as caring for themselves.
Learning objectives:
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to do
the following:
• Understand key concepts related to this phenomena.
• Work through challenges.
• Implement self-care strategies.
