(Salem, Ore. – November 7, 2024) – Caregiving for a loved one can take a toll on individuals and families. Aging and caregiving expert Kari Berit is coming to share her wealth of experience and advice to navigate the emotional journey of caregiving.
The Salem Health Foundation’s Fall 2024 Community Health Impact Speaker Series on November 12 and 13, presents Kari Berit, author of “The Unexpected Caregiver.” For 30 years, Kari has been raising awareness of the toll family caregiving can have on families, focusing primarily on the dynamics between adult children and aging parents, and helping both professionals and families handle the disruptions that often accompany caregiving.
Taking care of others is noble. Taking care of yourself is a necessity. Kari shares her S.A.N.E. Method TM – Supported, Appreciated, Not Guilty, and Energized – that teaches small ways to recharge your batteries on a daily basis that will not only benefit you as the caregiver, but will also help make you a more loving caregiver.
