SUMMARY:Stop It! Caregiver Behaviors That Impede Progress
DESCRIPTION:Parents and caregivers!\nHow many of us are doing things for our children or loved ones\nwith disabilities that we really shouldn’t continue to do? Things\nthat could easily become barriers to independent living models.\nThings that may even make our person more vulnerable than\nnecessary. \nThere’s no doubt that we do these things out of love\, maybe\nsprinkled with a little bit of guilt and a whole lot of just plain\nsurvival…but regardless\, our overcompensation and natural\ninstincts to protect for a lifetime are counterproductive. \nHelping our loved one reach their highest level of independence\nand autonomy they can reach takes courage\, vulnerability\, and\nplanning on our part\, and yet\, preparing those we love for life\nwithout us is the final and most important gift we can give them.\nEmail Meg at megan.moran@servicenet.org for more information\nabout the this webinar. We hope you can join us!
