About This Event

Caregiver Stress & Burnout -Tips for Taking Care of Yourself

Caring for a loved one can be very rewarding, but it also involves many stressors such as changes in the family dynamic, household disruption, financial pressure, and an added workload. So, is it any wonder that caregivers are some of the people most prone to burnout? Managing the stress levels in your life is just as important as making sure your family member gets to the doctor’s appointment or takes their medication on time. This presentation provides research-based and practical methods for minimizing stress and reducing caregiver burnout.

About the Speaker: Lynn Cyr is a Parent Training Coordinator with the Parent Education Network, which is a program under the Family Network on Disabilities.  She has been involved with the public school system and IEPs for over 30 years.   She describes herself as a collaborator who enjoys showing parents how to navigate the special education process.  She believes that when parents are empowered, they are able to obtain the services that their children require in order to prepare them for further education, employment and independent living.  Due to having four children of her own (some with special needs), she is familiar with the frustrations and confusion that parents experience.  Lynn is able to share her knowledge in a way that parents can relate to.
