Community Caregiver Newsletter December 2019 Note from Julie: Happy Holidays!!!!
We are so thankful to announce that our 20 Years Is Not Enough campaign was very successful! We are thankful for all of the donations, recognition for what we do at Joy’s House and for the prayers and words of support!
December is FULL of many fun opportunities for caregivers (whether you have a loved one at Joy’s House or not!). I hope you will consider attending all or some of them in order to give yourself a bit of self-love and self-care! Join a support group and/or celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah and the New Year with the Joy’s House Caregiver Support Services staff and volunteers at our Holiday Mixer! You’ll be happy you made some time for fun with other caregivers!
Warmly,
Julie Caregiver Support Services Coordinator Upcoming Caregiver Events Did you know that most Caregiver Support Services events are designed for any caregiver to attend—even if they don’t have a loved one at Joy’s House?! Please share this information with any caregivers you know who could benefit from these events. Holiday Mixer | Tuesday, December 10 | 6-8:30pm | Indy Art Center Sponsored by AARP, this is an opportunity for all caregivers to enjoy a night out to celebrate the holidays! The fun includes cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, live music, hand massages, AARP speaker, a performance by a local comedian, a photo booth and two creative breakout sessions.
Care can be provided for your loved one at Joy’s House, but you must make this known when you register. This is a FREE event, so please register at your earliest convenience at juliew@joyshouse.org. We are close to starting a waiting list and registration will absolutely close by tomorrow December 6th at 5pm. Caregiver Support Groups Support groups reduce risk of depression, social isolation and provide community resource info, education and interaction with other caregivers.
