Whether you have cared for your loved one for one year or many, when it ends, it will feel abrupt. The life and routine that have become yours, suddenly comes to an end with a finality that is painful on many levels. You have become a different person during your caregiving experience, yet you haven't had time to realize who that person is. Your focus was on someone else, and the thought of shifting that focus to yourself – may be scary. However, exploring who you are, now, as well as what you learned about yourself – and about life itself – during your caregiving experience can be an experience full of discovery and adventure ...
Segments include:
- A New Beginning – There is a natural sense of loss when the need for our caregiving is over. We face the double sorrow of the death of our loved one as well as the ending of our primary purpose and role in life. It is important to acknowledge our grief and complicated feelings.
- A New Normal – Part of the experience of after caregiving is to find a "new normal". Many factors go into the development of new identity after the death of a loved one. It is okay to feel inadequate, overwhelmed, and to ask for help in facing the unfamiliar.
- New Life Discoveries – As we walk through the process of rebuilding our lives we find that life may turn out to be completely different, new, even exciting. It is important to give ourselves permission to experience these things and be willing to look toward the future.

Transitioning from the teen years into adulthood can be very exciting, yet scary; and it always includes “growing pains.” Teens who tire of adult advice listen to peers and messages from icons of popular culture. Some teens submit blindly to authority; some respect it; others rebel. Ideally teens will be receptive to wisdom but not controlled by commands; able to discern positive from negative peer pressure and media messages; and capable of monitoring and motivating themselves. Teens - It’s Time to Grow Up helps teens learn, develop, mature and self-actualize with games, mock videos (skits or role plays for which teens prepare a possible video presentation), interviews, team activities, drawing, journaling, debates, discussion and other modes. These activities guide teens in many directions. As a facilitator, you’ll love the user-friendly activities with fully reproducible handouts as you help teens develop the skills needed to develop into strong, caring adults. Seven chapters, four to nine sessions per chapter, encompass the following: RE-gress or PRO-gress? Security blankets, stages, delayed gratification, to crawl or walk, whine or affirm, are pondered. Life skills. sandboxes, bikes, sports, pets, the senses, railroads, road rules and driving directions provide lessons. Parents, partners and role models, parent profiles, idols and ideals, relationships and red flags, leaders and followers are featured. Home, school and work, family roles, behavior behind closed doors, students, teachers, yearbook analogies, challenges and work habits are addressed. Tangible and intangible, materialism, money, monetary and behavioral costs versus benefits, values and ethics are explored. The journey to maturity, growth through fertilizer, late bloomers, rites of passage, frozen then freed, gladiator mentality, measures of maturity, perspectives, continuums and sex sense receive focus. Life after high school, education and training, career calls, love and partner traits are also discussed.

Family members, and sometimes close friends, are often called upon to act as caregivers to ill or aged people they care about or for whom they are responsible. Although there are many rewarding outcomes of the time spent between the courageous and dedicated caregiver and the care-receiver, the caregivers are usually unprepared, untrained and unsupported. The caregivers are also often isolated. These factors can put a huge amount of stress on non-professional or family caregivers. Attending a caregiver support group focusing on specific issues is of great benefit for caregivers. Such groups can include those facilitated by professionals such as social workers, counselors and group facilitators, and those facilitated by lay persons, often themselves caregivers. The intention of Caregiver Support is to provide content for support group facilitators and caregivers that touches on crucial topics. The reproducible handouts and worksheets are designed to provide insights, encourage problem-solving and develop the ability for caregivers to ask for the help they need to stay physically and emotionally healthy, allowing them to continue to be there for their care-receiver. While the book has an emphasis on caregiver support groups, the value of the handouts is the same for both groups and individuals. The individual seeking help in dealing with the stresses of their role as caregiver will find sections or individual handouts that speak to their most pressing needs. After working through them, individuals can discuss their insights with someone they can trust to give useful feedback, as well as family members who are willing to help in ways that will contribute to the caregiver’s continued wellbeing. The eight chapters in the book and are briefly described below: · Chapter 1. The Caregiver Support Group offers advice on organizing, promoting, preparing for and leading a caregiver support group. · Chapter 2. Support Group Openers and Closers includes creative activities to kick-start and effectively close support group meetings. · Chapter 3. Self-Care for the Caregiver contains reproducible exercises and handouts prompting participants to come up with strategies for maintaining their own physical and mental health as they care for others. · Chapter 4. Communication includes sections on effective communication, how to communicate when the care-receiver is confused or difficult to work with, as well as how to be more empathetic. It concludes with a section on preparing for and having sensitive conversations. · Chapter 5. Family/Close Friends Dynamics includes a substantial section giving the caregiver guidance on how to hold family meetings to discuss the care-receiver’s current health, finances and end-of-life issues, plus how to ask for what he/she needs to avoid burnout. It also has ideas for handling the holidays and visits to the care-receiver. · Chapter 6. Being an Advocate for the Care-Receiver is full of information on what is necessary for effective advocacy, including doctor’s visits, crisis preparation and home safety. · Chapter 7. Record Keeping supplies reproducible forms that will help the caregiver track expenses, healthcare-related conversations, medications and hospitalizations. The Substitute Caregiver’s Form is invaluable for providing the information needed for another to take over in the caregiver’s absence, whether for a few hours, a day or a longer period of time.· Chapter 8. Resources contains a list of suggested caregiving books and disease/illness national associations."An amazing and compassionate approach toward both the caregiver and care-receiver, and sensitive to both the care-receiver's feelings and needs. Very comprehensive. Nothing was forgotten. Unbelievably essential! So many needs of both caregivers and care-receivers are addressed beautifully." Carol Butler, MS Ed, RN, C

When Your Parent Needs You acknowledges that caring for an aging parent is an all-encompassing experience that affects every aspect of life. It brings changes and challenges that are difficult emotionally and physically. Through interviews with caregivers and experts on aging, this video addresses issues such as becoming your parent's caregiver, balancing work and personal life with the never-ending tasks of caregiving, coping with negative emotions and anxieties, and caring with compassion. When Your Parent Needs You emphasizes that caring for an aging parent can be more than an experience that is merely survived. It is an opportunity for personal growth, and most importantly, a window of time to give back to your parents and share their final years with them.
The video features two specialists in caregiving and aging issues: Beth Witrogen McLeod and Avrene L. Brandt, Ph.D. Beth Witrogen McLeod is a journalist, speaker, consultant and author of Caregiving: The Spiritual Journey of Love, Loss and Renewal, which was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. She has appeared on NBC's Today Show, and her articles on elder care have appeared in Good Housekeeping, Health, Family Circle, and The Wall Street Journal. Dr. Brandt, a practicing licensed clinical psychologist, is a consultant to the Greater Philadelphia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. She is the author of Caregiver's Reprieve.

The population of people in the United States over the age of 65 is one of the most rapidly growing groups in America. Therefore, it is essential for therapists who work closely with older adults to be able to define and administer an effective course of therapeutic treatment.
For older adults with mental health issues, problem-solving skills can weaken as a result of cognitive decline in late life. Problem-solving therapy is especially suited for work with older adults because it encourages the client to define his or her problems concretely in terms of the stimuli, responses, and consequences.
In this video, Dr. Patricia Areán demonstrates the effective use of problem-solving therapy with a 62 year old retired woman who is the sole caregiver of her grandchild, as well as both of her parents. The client has been struggling with depression, severe mood swings, and sleeplessness for about five years.
