SONOMA COAST TRAUMA TREATMENTResilience and Renewal for Caregivers
|
|
The Challenge
Americans are aging rapidly. Elder persons — as a percentage of the overall population — are increasing exponentially. This dramatic demographic change, coupled with the ever-rising costs of senior living, memory care residences and/or in-home care, is driving a tremendous demand for caregivers. The working and emotional demands upon these caregivers, whether they are in-home family or professional staff, can be overwhelming.
Sonoma Coast Trauma Treatment is committed to addressing the high rates of disease, disability, and morbidity in the caregiver population. Our community-centered program of services and referrals trains, coaches, supports, and encourages caregivers in ways that enhance their physical and emotional renewal, building resilience and hope. |
