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.

Loved her sharing personal
