HaTzipporim (Empty Nesters) as the Sandwich Generation
with Elana Hunter
Sunday, March 3, 10:30 am
Join HaTzipporim (Empty Nesters) for a presentation on the Sandwich Generation! Whether you are a member of a Traditional Sandwich, Club Sandwich, or Open-Faced Sandwich, providing care for others requires tremendous energy and resources.
We are thrilled to welcome presenter Elana Hunter (also an HBT member) for this special morning.
As a generation who are “caught in the middle”, we will:
- Examine societal trends that are increasing the demands on caregivers, and extending the time when adults are taking care of younger and older generations
- Explore the emotional, mental, physical, and financial aspects of caregiving
- Experience interactive self-care activities to reduce stress
- Learn about caretaker burnout, including prevention and recovery
- Gain resources for caregivers
Join us at Holy Blossom Temple for this poignant discussion, especially for our Empty Nesters demographic.
Treats from Holy Grounds will be provided!
