CareWise™ Mindfulness Series

Mindfulness Training for Employee Caregivers

Recent surveys report 40 million individuals in the US are performing care for a family member or friend without pay, adding up to 37 billion hours of care for loved ones. Most are also working to support themselves and/or family at the same time.

Family caregivers often undergo a tremendous amount of stress while giving care to their loved ones. For many, the effects continue after the caregiving period has ended. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, 40%-70% of caregivers show symptoms of depression with 25-50% meeting the diagnostic criteria for major depression.

CareWise™ created this innovative solution for Employee-Caregivers. The program offers a mindful approach to self-care for the caregiver, designed with elements from several well-respected self-care tools.

Why take this course?

CareWise'” Employee-Caregiver Mindfulness Series

Online
Workshops

CareWise Workshops are offered online using conferencing services such as Uber and Zoom conferencing. We also offer on location programs for employees-employers and HR professionals.

Small Groups
Experiences

CareWise supports SMALL GROUP ACTIVE LEARNING so that you can fully participate in our sessions. You will be learning by thinking, discussing, investigating, and creating. You may be asked to practice skills, solve problems, struggle with complex questions, propose solutions, and explain ideas in your own words through writing and discussion.

Highly Active
and Engaging

CareWise supports active and engaging events. We always start with a foundation of information and ensure your understanding of new concepts and opportunities. This includes learning through reflection helping you mentally prepare for ‘real world’ interactions and helps challenge their existing perceptions. Often, the experiences that resonate the most are the ones that make us stop and think and allow us to reach our own conclusions. This approach can shed light on content with grey areas and diverse opinions, such as your leadership skills or changing the conversation about employment and family caregiving !

Caregiver Support
Communities

Our shared CareWise commitments go beyond the classroom learning experience. As we each are facing new challenges, opportunities we encourage building relationships and a support team with others who are on the CareWise Journey! We will encourage building a sense of community and suggest that each session include an opportunity for you discuss your interests in forming or participating in a Facebook CareWise Group.

About Jeannette Galvanek

As a mother of two daughters with special needs, she has personally experienced some of the employment, financial and other impacts of juggling her multiple responsibilities. Jeannette understands the personal effects of mixing employment with caregiving responsibilities. Her Employee-Caregiving overload led to her walking out the door and never returning to her influential corporate position. This may help explain why the LifeWorkx focus is on supporting employers and Employee-Caregivers find employment solutions that make this an option of last resort for Employee-Caregivers.

These experiences drive her passion for change at the intersection of best-practice employment initiatives in businesses large and small – and in merging these with solutions for Employee-Caregivers who are looking for workable answers to their challenges.

Jeannette is driving LifeWorkx in new directions to identify and apply realistic solutions for business and employees. This next stage of the LifeWorkx journey is implementing engaging resources, programs and processes that work to break the outdated caregiver ideologies and move caregiving from the realm of healthcare and government organizations into the mainstream of corporate and individual change and transition.

A Warm CareWise™ Welcome!

“Janet brings incredibly deep experience to our Learning Program and will lead life changing experiences contnbuting to your superior work, life and caring success”
