L&T Nirali Charitable Hospital- Caregiver Training Program- 25th October
“Caregiver Education and Support Program” We are happy to announce the next session of Caregiver Education and Support Program in collaboration with Nirali A M Naik Charitable Health care facility Centre, Powai. The objective is to educate and help primary caregivers of Dialysis and Renal care patients improve their well-being and the quality of care that they provide. Being a caregiver of a person with a life limiting, lifelong condition can be lonely. We, at Caregiver Saathi, provide a platform so that family caregivers feel supported and cared for. This education program is being delivered over a series of 12 monthly modules to build resilience and improve the 8 elements of wellbeing. In this session we will focus on the Physiological aspect of well-being. Physiological well being refers to one’s physical being and its response to different situations/events taking place around and/or within them. It encompasses the healthy functioning of one’s body which includes taking care of their immunity, fitness, nutrition and ultimately maintaining a fine balance of body and mind in totality. If you are a dialysis patient caregiver, do attend and if you are a well wisher of such a caregiver, then do let them know. To register for the next session: Call/ SMS Mansi on 8850252190. Date and time: 25th October 2019; 2:00-4:00 PM Venue: L&T Nirali AM Naik Charitable Hospital, Powai. Please note that there are no charges associated with the session.
