Please join Benjamin Rose for a virtual presentation, The Financial Fatigue for Caregivers on Monday, June 17, 2024, from 12:00-1:00 pm EDT, an important webinar that reveals the surprising financial impact of providing care for a loved one.

There are numerous expenses associated with providing care to an older adult that most people don’t realize. For example, nearly half of all working caregivers said that caregiving expenses has caused them to use up all or most of their savings, and 43% have borrowed money from their credit cards.

This important webinar will guide caregivers in navigating the complex landscape of benefits and assistance programs that are available to caregivers. Additionally, you’ll learn to develop strategies to manage debt and seek financial assistance, as well as seek support for yourself and set boundaries.

Participants in this webinar will come away with:

Increased awareness of the financial challenges associated with caregiving.
Practical strategies for managing financial stress and building financial resilience.
Access to resources and support networks for ongoing assistance and guidance.

This webinar is presented by the Financial Wellness team at Benjamin Rose in concert with the Golden Buckeye Center for Dementia Caregiving. There is no fee to attend but you must register in advance.

Register For The Webinar

If you cannot attend at this time, future webinar dates are scheduled for July 15, August 19 and September 16.
