Care for the Caregiver

Lise Leblanc, author and registered psychotherapist

Whether professional or personal, caregiving can be physically, mentally, and  emotionally exhausting. The chronic stress of these roles and responsibilities can become overwhelming and lead to burnout. In this workshop, you will learn the importance of making yourself a priority, including how to take charge of your own wellness needs through healthy adjustments to your thoughts, emotions, and actions. You will leave this workshop with a whole new awareness of yourself and a renewed commitment to making positive changes to your caregiving situation.

As a therapist for over twenty years, Lise Leblanc has seen the devastating effects that caregiving can have on people, especially when they are not taking care of themselves. She also has first-hand experience from her own caregiving journey. She was the main caregiver for her grandmother who had Alzheimer’s disease after her grandfather died suddenly.

Please note that this is a discussion group, not a support or grief group.

Join us to raise awareness of death with a view of helping people to make the most of their lives.

Chaque année, Myélome Canada organise des séances d'information pour les patients, leurs familles et les professionnels de la santé, mettant en vedette des conférenciers invités de la communauté médicale dans les villes du Canada. Les séances d'information sont généralement des séances d'une demi-journée tenues dans de petites villes et abordent de nombreux aspects de la vie avec le myélome, y compris les options de traitement, l'interprétation des tests sanguins, la gestion des effets secondaires, les nouvelles thérapies contre le myélome et les mises à jour sur le réseau de recherche de Myélome Canada.
