Balancing Work and Caregiving and March EAP Newsletter

March 1, 2024

The responsibility of caring for children, a spouse, an older or infirm family member can force adjustments to schedules and priorities. One of the biggest challenges you will ever face is how do you handle work responsibilities and maintain your career while also doing what’s right for your older relative, attending to your relationship with your spouse or partner, giving your children the love and attention they need, and taking care of yourself? It’s not easy, but it can usually be done, and you may have more options than you realize. Deer Oaks EAP is here to support you 24/7/365 and can provide some ideas that may help you find a balance that works for you.

In this month’s EAP Newsletter, the following topics are discussed:

  • Online Seminar: Best (Furry) Friends
    • Explore the impact of pets on your life and how the presence of a pet can enhance your mental and emotional wellbeing.
    • Available on-demand starting March 19th.
