Virtual CEU Event: Seniors & Loneliness- Combatting Dangers of Social Isolation During COVID-19
Shana Tova! Belmont Village sends best wishes for a healthy and joyous holiday season to our Jewish friends and family.
Join us for a virtual, interactive discussion on how to set limits in caregiving while still providing excellent care for your loved one. Those caring for seniors selflessly devote their time, energy and financial resources to making life better for a loved one, whether they are simply aging or struggling with a challenging health diagnosis. Despite their good intentions, many caregivers unintentionally take on too much, putting their own health and well-being at risk. When caregivers develop “the martyr syndrome” and are reluctant to look for or accept help, the consequences can be devastating. We’ll discuss useful tools and strategies to combat this syndrome.

Virtual Presentation: The Origin of Fake News
Join us for this virtual, candid discussion of how to handle challenges with burnout during these extraordinary times. The current healthcare crisis has cultivated an unprecedented climate of stress, uncertainty, and truly daunting work conditions. These factors combined with a real or perceived lack of patience and appreciation from those we serve lead to tremendously risky situations. How do you help a client or patient who is experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout, and countertransference when they come to you for help? We’ll discuss this scenario, and what to do if you see signs of burnout in yourself or a colleague.
