RSVP Partners Explore Caregiver Support

Exploring the Role of Faith Communities in Caregivers' Networks of Support

Friday, February 15, 2013 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM      FREE

Join Saint Paul Area Council of Churches for a conversation to explore the role that faith communities play in caregivers' networks of support.

In a recent Wilder study of Saint Paul caregivers—family, friends and neighbors providing care for an older adult—faith communities were cited as a preferred source of support. Caregivers see their faith communities as a natural place to look for support in taking on this meaningful and challenging work. What role is your faith community playing? What role could you play?

Come together with others interested in supporting caregivers, where we will:

• Hear the results of the Caregiving in Context study: http://bit.ly/caregiving-context
• Share our experiences
• Think freshly about the possibilities of faith community support for those caring for our elders.

When: Friday, February 15th, 10am–2pm

Where: Saint Paul Area Council of Churches, 1671 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105

What: Co-creation of new ideas for faith community support of caregivers.

Lunch will be served.

RSVP by 2/11/13: The event is free, but an RSVP is required to plan for space and food. Please go to: http://faithcommunitysupportofcaregivers.eventbrite.com to register.
