A Caregivers Guide to Depression and Anxiety: The High Cost of Care
with
Roy Ellis
Bereavement Coordinator
Capital Health Integrated Palliative Care Service
Caregivers and family members with mental illness … sometimes its hard to know who's who … the constant work of caregiving can cause anxiety and depression. So what can we do? Are we fated as caregivers to suffer for our love? Is the very nature of love? And what about boundaries … at what point do we have to begin to put our own health first?
Join Roy for a lively discussion about the high cost of care.
In addition to his work with the Capital District Health Authority, Roy Ellis is a writer and a musician.
