Managing Stress & Challenging Emotions in Caregiving by Beth Fauth

2024 Caregiver Conference: magutah.gov/caregiver
In this presentation, Dr. Fauth will discuss the principles of acceptance and commitment therapy that are applied to caregiver stress. ACT is a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that is widely used across many mental health settings and is supported by extensive research. ACT skills can help mitigate clinically significant mental health issues, as well as milder everyday stress. Dr. Fauth will provide examples of ACT exercises to help the audience learn to live with stress more comfortably and provide evidence from recent studies on how dementia caregivers applied ACT to help them with their challenges.
