Digital Education Programming Presented by the
Center for Health & Wellbeing
November is Caregiving Month at the Center for Health & Wellbeing, and while caregiving is a 24/7 job, everyone needs a break to recharge and refocus every now and then. As a caregiver, connecting with others, sharing or learning helpful information, laughing or catching up is an opportunity to start anew.
In this program, you’ll press pause on your caregiving and join experts from the Crosby Wellness Center, the Center for Health & Wellbeing and AdventHealth to learn more about how to care for yourself while caring for others.
First, you’ll gain advice and tips for making the most from your caregiving experience from CHWB Wellbeing Guide Sara Wright and Chef Collette Haw from Nourish Coffee Bar+Kitchen. Wright will share ways you can preserve and enrich yourself through your caregiving experience. Chef Haw will share how to keep yourself and your loved one nourished while caregiving.
Next, AdventHealth Registered Dietician Sherri Flynt will discuss foods that boost your immune system so you can stay healthy and how to recognize – and curb – stress eating.
Finally, Crosby Wellness Center fitness specialist and certified personal trainer JoAnn Nales will teach you how to care for yourself by moving your body and simple exercises you can do at home with or without your loved one.
Make plans now to join us and hear from these CHWB Experts—you’ll be glad you did!
This program is presented by the Center for Health & Wellbeing in collaboration with AdventHealth and the Crosby Wellness Center.
