*** We are not meant to travel this journey alone *** Rosalyn Carter said it best: “There are only four kinds of people in the world – those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers”. Whatever our role is now, we are not living independently of others. In this presentation, we will share our strengths, weaknesses, needs and support.
