Description
CANCELLED Based on 16 years of caring for family, Robert Benjamin leads an intimate discussion about vital but rarely discussed aspects of caregiving for your loved one. The discussion includes ‘how-to’ perspectives on topics like supporting patients’ autonomy, recruiting a care team to serve both patients and caregivers, and negotiation strategies for medical discussions. This class is useful for caregivers of patients having cancer, dementia, or neurodegenerative illness.
Robert Benjamin has been a care partner for his wife (with cancer) for 14 years, after caring for his dying father. His other avocations are writing and producing plays, including Oasis performances. His midlife career was in experimental physics and science education.
