About the Caregiver Relief Network – Three Ways to Participate
How would your life be different if you knew exactly what to do for your loved ones to keep them safe, happy and thriving while you enjoy a fulfilling career and/or a personal life?
Caregiver Relief Network was created to help family caregivers who are overwhelmed with the stress of caring for a loved one. The problem is that most caregivers have little or no support in this ever changing, complex and fragmented health care system. Besides caregiving, caregivers struggle with personal health issues, holding down their jobs, developing their careers and have other civic and personal responsibilities. Caregiving is not only the silent productivity killer, it is also the thing that split up relationships and causes health, career and financial strain.
At the Caregiver Relief Network, we help you discover the sources of your stress, we support and guide you in your decision making and long term care planning and we explore strategies to help you peel away the stress of caregiving so that you can reclaim your time and your relationship so you can make the selfless work you do as a caregiver more enjoyable and gratifying
Through our membership programs your will enjoy teleseminars, webinars, self-study caregiving courses, caregiver relief day retreats, caregiver group coaching, support groups, care management and even 1on 1 caregiver coaching so that you can enjoy your life, be a thriving caregiver while your loved is safe, happy and one thriving where ever he/she calls home.
