Are you checking in on someone routinely? Helping them get groceries? Reminding them to take medications? Doing housework, bathing them, or driving them to appointments or social gatherings? Then you are a caregiver! More than 1 in 5 Americans provide unpaid care to another person who has chronic illness, a disability, or functional limitations. Join us to learn more about what caregiving is, who caregivers are, how to maintain your health and well- ness, and available support and resources available to you here in Whatcom County and nearby. You are not alone — we are here to help! Please note: Additional activity may be available for loved ones in the nearby Pavilion while caregivers attend the workshop. Pre-registration required.
