Ed-U-Care CEO Sharyn Fein
Ed-U-Care, an organization that provides programs and volunteer opportunities for groups and families that have traditionally been marginalized or neglected including older LGBT adults, presents “Compassion Fatigue Awareness, Education Cultural Humility Training for Caregivers.”

The day is designed for professionals who can receive CEU credits for the day as well as individuals who are caring for an elderly parent or a partner with an ongoing condition.
Burnout can be so severe, Fein said, the caregiver dies before the person being cared for in some cases.
Fein said the sessions will be fun with presenters who including a music therapist, Nia practitioner and trainer, QiGong Master and more.
“Find what makes us happy,” she said. “Live without guilt.”
