Caregiver fatigue was the focus of our November Friday Forum. With all that special needs families have on their plate and with the added stress of the holidays just around the corner, this topic was particularly timely and important.

Presenter and Certified Professional Life Coach Sherry James shared with the group different strategies to recognize and reduce burnout while at the same time increasing resilience. She also led us in some activities to raise our awareness of how burnout shows up in our lives and how to introduce more self-care into our daily routines.

Thank you to all who attended. We are grateful to Sherry for sharing her time and expertise with our group.
