健康维护主题

Some 44 million adults provide care for an older or chronically ill family member at home. Providing such care can be richly rewarding at times, yet considerably burdensome at others. Sometimes the stress on family caregivers can leave them feeling overwhelmed.

Caregivers may experience physical illness, 抑郁症, 悲伤, and changes in their own relationships as a result of the care they provide.Stepping Stones To 健康y Aging is a series designed to bring awareness to the emotional and health risks of older adults as well as the caregivers. Each of the topics includes background information, 互动讨论, hands-on activities and consumer handouts.
