Samaritan Caregiver Support Virtual Workshop

The Samaritan Institute for Education, Research & Innovation presents a monthly virtual series to teach caregivers practical tips about how to care for their loved one with a serious illness.

The first virtual workshop in this series will offer advice and guidance on self-care and compassion fatigue, as well as provide hands-on tips and tricks about caregiving activities such as mouth care and bed bathing. The workshop will be held on Tuesday, January 26 from 2-3 p.m., and consists of a 30-minute presentation followed by a question-and-answer session.

Samaritan will host additional workshops on different support topics throughout the winter and spring. Upcoming workshops and events can be found at https://www.facebook.com/SamaritanNJ/events.
