3. Mug Club for Caregivers
ADRC of Brown County and the Brown County Caregiver Coalition
|
Wednesday, September 8th from 6-7pm
Self-care is more than a catch phrase and it’s more than important; it’s critical. Taking time out for ourselves helps to prevent burnout, increases our good health, decreases symptoms of depression, and so much more. Besides, as a caregiver, I couldn’t care for someone else as I do if I didn't take time out for taking care of myself. ~Gloria Kraegel
Sponsored by the Brown County Caregiver Coalition, the Mug Club is a monthly gathering for families, friends, partners & other informal caregivers.
2nd Wednesday of each month from 6–7 pm
For more information on how to join us in person or virtually contact ADRC at (920) 448-4300.
