A Workshop for Family Caregivers 
 

Today’s caregivers too often neglect their own health needs while struggling with their loved ones’ unpredictable behaviors such as refusing care, wandering, or withdrawing.  Each caregiver who attends this workshop will leave with a personal wellness plan and strategies for reducing or eliminating difficult behaviors.   Give yourself and those you care for the gift of a healthier you. Ruth Price, MT-BC, has coordinated Park Ridge Hospital’s HOPE Caregiver Wellness Program since 1996.  She has presented at local, state, and national conferences on issues affecting older adults since 1987.   Caregiver comments about Ruth... Gave us wisdom and laughter.  Loved her sharing personal experiences which made me realize that my experiences are not unique.
