Caregiver Space, How Caregivers Can Build Community (even during isolation), April 7
Please note: Due to the coronavirus outbreak, some previously scheduled events have been cancelled. The following events are available with Zoom conferencing.
Even before COVID-19, it took courage and initiative to break out of isolation and rebuild our support networks. We may have already been strapped in isolating situations such as illness, caregiving, living alone, divorce, relocation, or the death of a loved one.
Please join us as we host rehabilitation counselor and author, Val Walker, as she explores and shares ways to: 1) Stay close to others and deepen our bonds, despite social distancing. 2) Build our communities, expand our networks, and pave the way for our future social lives.
This film explores the fast-growing epidemic of loneliness and social isolation around the world. Watch the teaser for this new film, aiming to be released by late 2020. http://allthelonelypeoplefilm.com/
