This is the third virtual workshop presented in 2023 sponsored by the Nebraska Caregiver Coalition to provide information to caregivers. It is titled “Positive Caregiving: Harnessing the Power of Positive Emotions in the Caregiving Journey” presented by Dr. Sarah Teten Kanter, Ph.D. It will be held from 12:00pm to 1:00pm CT. You will receive a meeting ID and/or information to join on Zoom when you register. There will be one more presentation coming in November and I will send information about it later.

The presentation will focus on the following points:

*How to harness the power of positive emotions in your caregiving journey

*The four pillars of positive caregiving: perspective, savoring, reminiscence and growth

*Incorporating gratitude, empathy, forgiveness, love, and awe into your daily routine

*Positive practices for all caregiving scenariios: new/sudden caregivers, part-time and full-time caregivers, and caregivers to loved ones living in a care community

*Practicing micro-moments of positive self-care for caregivers

Dr. Kanter is on a mission to help people embrace the gift of growing older. She focuses on making caregiving and care receiving a positive experience and an opportunity for personal growth. She has written a book titled “Positive Caregiving” which offers an alternative, positive perspective and provides an accessible, research-based path for people who want to make the most of the caregiving experience.
