Join Parent Training Specialist, Glenesha Milner for a Webinar Highlighting Helpful/Accessible Apps!

No matter which hurdles your child faces, apps and other media included in this presentation can give him or her an added boost. We don’t expect an app to be a complete solution, of course. Working with students who face challenges requires lots of time, attention, and patience on the part of a parent, teacher, or other adult caregivers. Our goal is to offer you a host of fun apps you can add to your toolkit as you work with your child. POPIN Facebook Page

Post date July 2, 2024

We are pleased to invite you to a special presentation on caregiver support hosted by our parent training specialist, Ms Glenesha Milner. Join us on Facebook for “Caregiver Stress & Burnout -Tips for Taking Care of Yourself” on Monday, July 15th at 1:00 PM.

Caring for a loved one can be very rewarding, but it also involves many stressors, such as changes in the family dynamic, household disruption, financial pressure, and an added workload. So, is it any wonder that caregivers are some of the people most prone to burnout?

Managing the stress levels in your life is just as important as ensuring your family members get to the doctor’s appointment or take their medication on time. This presentation provides research-based and practical methods for minimizing stress and reducing caregiver burnout. https://www.facebook.com/popinfl
