Honoring Caregivers: November Workshops from PCOA By Tonetta Clay, Family Caregiver Support Group Specialist Every November, Pima Council on Aging celebrates National Family Caregivers Month, a time to honor those who selflessly care for loved ones facing illness or decline. Caregivers often juggle physical demands, emotional stress, and quiet grief, yet their compassion uplifts others in immeasurable ways. We want every caregiver to know that you matter, and you are deeply appreciated. Caring for yourself while caring for another isn’t selfish, it's essential. When you recharge, you're better equipped to offer loving support. Simple self-care practices include: • Taking short breaks to rest and breathe. • Staying connected with friends, family, or support groups. • Nourishing your body with healthy food, movement, and sleep. • Asking for help, because you don't have to do it all alone. To support caregivers, PCOA's Family Caregiving Support team is offering four virtual self-care workshops this November. These weekly sessions provide encouragement, practical tools, and connection with others who understand the caregiving journey. Attendees will be entered to win amazing raffle prizes!
