Caring for the Caregiver: Managing Complex Emotions
Presented by: Mary Pope, RN, Clinical Liaison with Gentiva
Description:
Join us for a supportive and engaging session designed to help you navigate challenging emotions
commonly experienced by caregivers. Together, we’ll explore simple ways to build resilience, connect with
your team, and find confidence in speaking with distressed families. Whether you’re a caregiver or leader,
this presentation offers practical tools and heartfelt insights to help you care for others, without losing
yourself in the process.
This presentation offered by Gentiva Hospice invites caregivers to
explore the emotional complexities of their essential work. Participants
will learn to:
• Recognize and validate the hidden grief caregivers carry.
• Navigate feelings of guilt, anxiety and emotional fatigue.
• Build resilience through creative wellness rituals and peer
connection.
• Implement trauma-informed strategies to support staff and
residents/clients alike.
