Terry will welcome a panel discussion on how we as caregivers can continue caring for our friends and family members

while not forgetting to take care of ourselves both physically and mentally.  What arrangements do we need to make to give ourselves  some down time? Safety rules on planes, for example, always tell you to secure your mask first in an emergency.  This is because you need to be able to continue to be strong enough to help others.  Join us as we look at this and other related topics.

Early in the pandemic we had a show on various living arrangements, and I wonder how much our opinions have changed, if at all, since then. Email VISAbilities Sponsored by VISAbilities
