Our third 7 week online Course for Caregivers this October.
We are delighted to bring you our third 7 week online programme for Caregivers this October which is funded by the Charlie Bird Development Fund. The programme has been designed in the wake of a survey conducted by the IMNDA and MND Scotland which found that the majority of caregivers of people with MND in Ireland did not feel they were able to take time out to look after themselves while caring for their loved one.
We will host this online programme entitled 'Caring for Caregivers- Coping Techniques' which will be facilitated by Mary Scarff, Psychotherapist.
This online programme will commence on Tuesday 15th October and will run up until 26th November. Each session will be from 3pm to 5pm and places will be limited to 20 people per session and you must be able to commit to all 7 sessions.
This online programme is designed for family caregivers who are looking after a person living with MND and is a registered client of the IMNDA.
Each week Mary will look at the following areas:
- Anticipatory grief
- Trauma and anxiety
- Self-talk
- Relationships
- Conflict
- Sleep
- Process of change
- Self-care programme
