 2020:Reducing Stress / Dealing with Parents and Resistance\n\nSpeakers: Dr. 
 Barry Jacobs and Alex Morris\n\nReducing Stress: Family caregiving can be 
 joyful but is almost always still stressful. In this interactive workshop, 
 we'll discuss ways that caregivers can change their reactions to 
 caregiving's challenges if they can't change caregiving's arduous 
 circumstances. We'll practice breathing exercises, visualization, the 5 
 Senses and other forms of mindfulness that caregivers can easily learn and 
 incorporate into their daily routines to better manage stress.\n\nDealing 
 with Parents and Resistance: Are you worried about how your aging parents 
 are doing now that one or both of them have physical challenges or chronic 
 illnesses? They say they are doing fine and that you shouldn’t worry. But 
 you do worry. Come and learn techniques in overcoming resistance to 
 accepting help\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/09/17/18836707.php
