WILMINGTON ISLAND
Caregiver Fellowship and
On-Site Assistance
The Frank G. Murray Community Center
Thursday, January 2nd
9:30 - 11:30am
Due to our usual first Wednesday meeting time falling on New Years Day, for January only we will be meeting on Thursday, January 2nd.
Caregivers are friends, relatives, in-laws, and spouses – anyone who provides assistance to another, in whatever capacity and whatever their relationship, with no financial benefits.
9:30 – 10:30am: Caregiver Fellowship
… Are you gradually feeling more alone — that those around you just don’t seem to get what you are going through? Join us for a safe place to connect with other caregivers who truly understand. Learn and discover strength, emotional support, and a necessary sense of community with like-minded people. This group is non-disease specific to encourage caregivers to focus on their own concerns and circumstances.
10:30 – 11:30am: On-Site Assistance
… Meet one-on-one with a representative from the Edel Caregiver Institute to discuss your personal caregiver journey and how we may be of assistance in providing resources, education, and support.
For more information, contact The Frank G. Murray Community Center at 912-898-3320

Caregiver Stress Relief: Schedule some relaxation time just for you!
Restorative Yoga and Deep Relaxation
Thursday mornings from 9:30 - 10:30am
at the Edel Caregiver Institute
|
|
Join us for a yoga session that is focused on relaxation and quieting the mind.
This is not a stretching class
, instead props such as bolsters and blankets are used to support the body. This allows the breath to move freely, encouraging the muscles to relax, and the mind to quiet. Within a short time, this practice encourages you to become submerged in a deeply relaxed state and drop into the silent space within.
No previous experience is necessary. Dress comfortably.

Have you ever left a doctor's appointment with more concerns or questions than before you went in?
Perhaps you felt rushed or were embarrassed, even hesitant to ask for more details?
Project Sherpa
Would you find it helpful if a doctor accompanied you and/or your care recipient to their next medical appointment to be an advocate on your behalf? Project Sherpa's retired medical professional volunteers do just that
at no charge
! Your Sherpa will help ask questions and gather all the facts so that, together, you can make the best medical decisions for your, or your loved one's care.
