United Way of Northern New Jersey will hold a free Caregivers Conference on Saturday, December 8. The conference will be held at Caldwell College’s Alumni Theater from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will provide area caregivers with access to information, supports and resources critical to their role of caring for a loved one.
The program for the conference remains the same with presentations, activities and resources to help caregivers stay healthy while shouldering the care of a family member or friend. The conference and all activities are free.
Caregivers will be able to attend the following three presentations:
- Cooking for your health: Alma Schneider, LCSW, of Take Back the Kitchen, will share how to cook healthy, quick, economical meals. She will also provide practical tips for overcoming time management obstacles to cooking.
- Being fit where you sit: Eydie Shapiro, owner of Comfort Keepers, will show how to benefit from yoga’s healing and restorative benefits while supported by a chair.
- Positive state of mind: Ed Tseng, Mental Wellness Coach and author of “Game. Set. Life.” will teach how to access the focus, confidence and motivation to perform under pressure. Learn about the power you have inside yourself and how you can overcome these challenges by improving your state of mind.
