"Weary, Worn and Overwhelmed" 1 NCPD (Nursing Continuing Professional Development) offered

These three words describe the burdened lives of caregivers for those who cannot care for themselves. Whether it is caring for an elderly parent with compromising health challenges, a sudden debilitating health situation with a husband or wife, or a child with a developmental disability - the constant care is a heavy burden for the caregiver. As nurses, we not only are skilled to recognize when stress and compassion fatigue overwhelms a caregiver, but we are accountable to Christ to help ease the burden.

This contact hour will present assessment tools and a concrete plan to ease the burden of caregivers. "Carry each others burdens and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2
