Every month, the Family Caregiver Support Program hosts groups for caregivers at the International Family Center-Seattle, one in Cantonese, another in Mandarin.
As we all know, caring for your loved one at home is a
very stressful job, and many caregivers find they have little time for themselves.
"Being a non-paid family caregiver, I am often overwhelmed by physical and emotional distress. Thanks to CISC, I can have some time off for myself, watching a movie or practicing tai chi."
These groups provide social support, counseling, practical
information and perhaps most importantly, a chance to get out of the house and relax a bit.
Here, a group of caregivers practices tai chi after learning about the swine flu.
Our Eastside fan dance tai chi class is held in Factoria. For more information, please contact Cathy Lee for Eastside cathyl@cisc-seattle.org or Andes Kong for Sunshine Garden andesk@cisc-seattle.org
