Live Better Coffee & Learn: Self-Care for Caregivers
Join the St. Tammany Chamber’s Live Better St. Tammany Committee for a Live Better Coffee & Learn on “Self-Care for Caregivers.” Speakers are Dr. Maria Roberts with the St. Tammany Physicians Network and Eileen Moynihan with the Alzheimer’s Association Louisiana Chapter.
St. Tammany Health System is hosting the program in its Ponchatoula Room at 1202 S. Tyler Street in Covington. Networking and a light breakfast are from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. with the program from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.
There is no cost to attend, and seating is limited.
Dr. Maria Roberts is a family medicine specialist who is passionate about prevention and helping patients become the best version of themselves. Juggling work, day-to-day responsibilities, perhaps children and more, in addition to being the caregiver for a loved one can be an emotional and physical strain. She will discuss the importance of self-care and provide information and techniques to help caregivers manage their own well-being.
With more than 7 million people in the U.S. living with dementia, the Alzheimer’s Association knows the importance of providing help and support to those caring for someone with Alzheimer’s. Caregiving can be overwhelming, especially to those with many responsibilities, and there are resources to help. Eileen Moynihan with the Alzheimer’s Association will discuss how caregivers of any kind can use the resources provided by her organization to take care of themselves and those in their care.
