ABOUT THE CAREGIVERS PROJECT
We
provide workshops to social workers,
counselors, nurses, doctors, teachers, emotional and
physical support volunteers, hospital and agency administrators and trainers,
among others. Renewal is not an event. It is a state in which one lives.
When
Renewal
is readily accessible, work is rewarding and gratifying. The remarkable
commitment of care giving is a nurturing dedication, rather than burdensome and
draining. With
the tools provided by THE CAREGIVERS PROJECT,
more is accomplished in less time and without the sacrifice of vital
relationships with patients, co-workers, and relatives. Instead of merely
providing a refuge, family, friends, and colleagues naturally become advocates
in the fulfillment of a Caregivers life. The
principle focus and original intent of THE CAREGIVERS
PROJECT was to provide Renewal
to Caregivers of AIDS patients. When it became clear that the issue of burnout
was more prevalent than previously realized, we quickly expanded our mission to
include all Caregivers within the medical vocation.
Over
the years, hundreds of professionals and volunteers who participated in the CAREGIVERS
RENEWAL COURSE have reported that its tools and techniques have made a
positive, measurable impact on their private lives, reaching out beyond the
intended sphere of their professional responsibilities. Renewal offers more than a cure for burnout, but is an extraordinary opportunity for fulfillment and joy throughout every moment of life.
