Why “Sandwiched?”
Balancing your life and the responsibilities of caregiving can be overwhelming. There are times we can feel like we are smushed into situations so big, we’re not even sure how to take the first bite.
We know what it feels like to be stressed out and overwhelmed from caregiving.
There’s no manual for caregiving, and it can be hard to find others who understand.
That’s why we offer information and education to family caregivers, as well chances to connect with others who have traveled similar journeys.
