The Great Reconnection: Stress Busting for Family Caregivers
In this episode, we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month as we explore the impact AgeGuide and its funded partners are making on mental wellness for older adults and caregivers and uncover the benefits of investing in our own mental health.
Our guest this month is Nathan Underhile, the Clinical Program Supervisor at Metropolitan Family Services. Nathan brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise in aging mental health, caregiver stress, and an evidence-based strategy called Stressbusting for Family Caregivers.
Throughout our discussion, Nathan delves into the challenges faced by caregivers and the transformative power of reconnecting with what matters most in our lives. The Great Re-Connection, as we discover, has a lot to do with getting outside of our own heads, finding support, and nurturing our own well-being.
