AARP Hawai`i Offers Free Caregiver Breakfast Workshops

Being a family caregiver is one of the toughest and most rewarding things that anyone can do for a parent or loved one. There’s generally no pay. The hours are long and the work is demanding.

But more than 157,000 people in Hawai`i do it. To help them, AARP Hawai`i is holding a series of free breakfast Caregiver to Caregiver workshops in November, National Family Caregivers Month.

“As a family caregiver for my mom, I know how difficult it is to balance work, caregiving and life in general. It makes a big difference to be able to talk to other caregivers about the challenges we face and to know that you are not alone,” said Keali`i Lopez, AARP Hawai`i state director. “If you attend our workshops, you’ll meet other caregivers and learn about resources available to you from the state, county and AARP. Plus if you register in advance, you’ll get a free breakfast on us.”
