Description:

As caregivers we feel the range of emotions, from resentment to anxiety to fear to isolation, all of which can lead to feelings of guilt and worry that we’re the only ones who feel this way. This interactive support session, led by FA Caregiver and Founder of The Negative Space, Allison Breininger, will focus on all that we feel.

Event Details: This event will be hosted from 10:00-11:30 a.m. Pacific Time (MST +1, CST +2, EST +3 hours)

Translation: In order to help us meet your request for live interpretation services, please register at least one week prior to the session. We will do our best to fulfill your request. A FARF staff member will email you prior to the event if we are unable to provide an interpreter.
