AARP North Carolina has partnered with Shevel Mavins and Kaii Marie Robertson, Co-founders of the Behavioral Health Mind Body Academy to present, A Caregiver’s Guide to Wellness. This discussion will explore the importance of developing a caregiver self-care plan and how to go about doing so. For example, it’s a good idea to consider the benefits of respite care and making time for walking and exercise. Effective caregivers understand their limitations and request help as needed, so identifying a backup support system is a key step. While it can be tough to call on assistance, the presentation will cover how to discuss sharing the responsibility of caring for a loved one with your family. You’ll also get suggestions of apps that can help you manage your loved one’s medical affairs
