Join us for an engaging webinar designed specifically for Family Peer Advocates, focused on empowering caregivers to enhance their natural supports, which are those relationships outside of social services (family members, church members, schools, etc.). In this session, we will explore the definition and importance of natural support, identify existing relationships with family, friends, coworkers, and community members, and develop strategies to strengthen these vital connections. Through interactive discussions, and strength-based communication, participants will gain valuable skills to foster supportive environments that improve caregiver well-being and resilience. Don’t miss this opportunity to deepen and enhance your understanding of Family Peer Support by supporting caregivers’ as they navigate their natural support systems.
