The Women’s Empowerment Through Cape Area Networking (WE CAN) is holding a Caregiver’s Workshop on February 11th, 2021 via Zoom at 10am.
Who is helping you as you help a family member manage a health condition? Juggling everything was hard before the pandemic, but it’s harder than ever now. This virtual session will focus on practical ways for you to manage the challenges you’re facing and the emotions you’re experiencing as you care for a family member or friend.
You must register to attend this workshop:
