Are you a parent, family member, or caregiver supporting someone who lives with a mental health condition? Are you already starting to worry about the holidays?
Then check out CAFÉ TAC’s recent webinar in our ongoing series for families and caregivers, Family Mental Health: Navigating the Holidays.
While the holidays are a time of celebration and connection, they can also bring about challenges. Families of people with mental health conditions often face issues ranging from an increase in stress, anxiety, or other difficult feelings for the person they are supporting, to additional conflict within the family and challenges with managing expectations. This makes the role of caregiver even more complicated and stressful than it is at other times of the year.
Join us for a transformative 90-minute webinar designed to help you navigate the season with a bit more preparedness and a bit less stress. Learn strategies to make this time more manageable and enjoyable for you and your family.
