Come out and learn about “The Sandwich Generation.” These caregivers are squeezed between raising children and caring for an older loved one simultaneously – about one of every three of the nation’s 65 million caregivers are part of the Sandwich Generation.
- More than 24 million adults are “sandwiched” between caring for children still at home and simultaneously caring for older parents.
- Statistics show 47 percent of those in their 40s and 50s are caregivers and among that group 42 percent are Gen X while 33 percent are baby boomers.
This session, given by Valerie Hopson-Bell, Geriatric Care Advisor with ElderCare Connections will teach you:
- How to Manage the Sandwich Generation juggling act
- Ways to prevent caregiver burnout
- The difference of Mars vs. Venus on Caregiver Stress
- The resources and support available to help your situation
