will arm you with the tools and resources necessary to

May 13 - Noon - 1pm - UA Caregiver Support Group
Su Copper Room
UA Life & Work Connections, in
collaboration with Pima Health System Caregiver Education &
Support Program, announces the formation of a caregiver
support group meeting on the second Wednesday of each month
in addition to the current monthly sessions. Several
participants indicated that, "The support group really helps
us feel acknowledged as caregivers. Now we have a place to
share our concerns and develop new coping skills. Meeting
once a month doesn't give us enough time to both learn about
helpful resources and to share with one another." As one
attendee said, "I have wanted to attend a caregiver support
group for a long time, but I am too tired to go anywhere
after work, especially since I have both child care and
parent care obligations in the evening. I am grateful that
the U of A is supporting employees in this way." The "open-ended" support group meets on
the second and fourth Wednesday of each month, and is
facilitated by a Master's level professional known in the
Tucson area for her expertise in caregiving, aging and
health care. Participants may attend on a regular basis or
less frequently, as needed. According to Jan Sturges, Caregiving
Coordinator at Life and Work Connections, "This University
of Arizona community collaboration enables our department to
expand the scope of resources available to employees and
students who are caring for a dependent older adult.
Research indicates that caregivers are at least 30-40% more
likely to experience symptoms of stress and burnout than the
general population. Caregivers also report that some of the
most difficult aspects of caregiving are loneliness and
isolation. Networking with other caregivers is a healthy way
for them to connect with people who have similar concerns,
and to share ideas for coping with the daily issues they
face. Participating in a caregiver support group is a great
way to refocus, re-energize and rebalance." For more information about the caregiver
support group, or to schedule an elder care consultation,
please contact Jan Sturges at 626-4770 or

Send your thanks to
our soldiers.
It only takes a minute and is so worthwhile.
If you go to the
web site
http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card
and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is
currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it
will go to some member of the armed services. It is FREE and it
only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these? I sent mine, now you send one too! |

Curb Auto
Theft with the Watch Your Car Program:
It's Quick, Easy and FREE!
The Watch Your Car
decal program is a free, voluntary program that
vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the
Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is
then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD)
database and participants receive decals for their
front and rear windows. By displaying the decals,
vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials
that their vehicle is not usually in use between the
hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of
auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the
Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also
authorize law enforcement officials to stop their
vehicle at any time during the day or night within
one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that
the vehicle is being illegally operated.
If a police officer
witnesses the vehicle in operation between these
hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and
verify it is being legally operated by the rightful
owner.
To
register for the program online go to:
https://www.aata.state.az.us/Watch_Your_Car/Info_Request/signup_request.html
Register by mail
by downloading the form at:
http://www.azwatchyourcar.com/pdfs/WYC%20-%20application%20form%20for%20website.pdf
