BOOK SIGNING PARTY

Tues. June 21, 7 pm

ELTING MEMORIAL LIBRARY, NEW PALTZ, NY 12561


JOIN THE REVOLUTION!

You can benefit from caregiving if you’re able to: accept the reality of your present caregiving situation, realize the importance of the work that you’re doing and make efforts to manage your caregiver stress. Then  you apply a few simple tools and techniques of mindfulness. It’s that simple. That’s our premise…and our promise. With this attention you can help others in transition because you can stay focused on the needs of the present moment during a crisis.
