Five-Week Caregiving Series Returns To Cheyenne

Caregivers are encouraged to take part in AARP Wyoming’s popular series, Care for Caregivers, on Mondays in March. The weekly series, which explores self-care topics for caregivers, will be held at the Laramie County Public Library, 2200 Pioneer Avenue, in Cheyenne.

Each week’s session starts out at 5:30 p.m. with a free dinner to help caregivers unwind and meet others in similar situations to themselves. The presentations will get underway at 6 p.m. and end by 7:30 p.m. The first three sessions will be held in the Cottonwood Room on the first floor. The last two sessions will be held in the Sunflower Room on the third floor. Wheelchairs are available if needed.

“We encourage you to take time just for you,” said the series director Emilie Quinlivan. “Each week explores a different topic tailored to the unique challenges caregivers face, offering practical tips you can use right away.”

Caregivers are encouraged to attend as many or as few sessions as they would like. The sessions include

March 2: Stress Relief with Laughter - Laugh, relax, and unwind with a local comedian in this upbeat, stress-relief session.

March 9: Balancing Burnout - Find helpful strategies to manage burnout and practice self-care.

March 16: Pocket Practices to Be Well - Explore easy daily habits to recenter and reset.

March 23: Managing Meals - Get tips from a dietitian on eating well for your mind and body.

March 30: Healing your Energy - Explore gentle energy practices to support relaxation and well-being.

This is the fourth time the series has been offered in Cheyenne after it was developed by AARP Wyoming’s Sheridan Community Action Team. The series’s founders and directors understand the need for caregivers to take time for themselves to be at their best for their loved ones.
