Family physicians are central to providing family caregivers with the trusted support they need to care for their loved ones, and equally as important but often overlooked, to help the family caregiver reflect on their own health and well-being.
Join the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the Association of Retired Persons (AARP) on Thursday, December 5, at 7 p.m. for the webinar How Family Doctors and Caregivers Can Work Together. This webinar features AARP Caregiver Expert Rita Choula and AAFP’s very own Darlene Lawrence, MD, FAAFP. The webinar is free and open to the public (it does require a free AARP log-in).
Hear more about how everyone benefits when caregivers and family caregivers work together. You’ll learn tips for preparing for appointments, communicating with family and medical staff, and organizing records. The discussion will also answer questions about managing difficult conversations, balancing multiple caregiving duties, preventing burnout, and much more.
