On Monday, Feb. 10, Mantelzorg & Meer starts the program "Attention to Yourself," a series of meetings for family caregivers who need relaxation and time for themselves. There are still a few places available.
During this program, you alternate walking with awareness and relaxation exercises, such as breathing exercises, mindfulness and gentle movement. Enjoying nature and relaxed movement helps improve self-care and well-being. Afterwards, there is an opportunity to drink coffee or tea together and exchange experiences. The program is intended for family caregivers from Aalsmeer, Amstelveen, Uithoorn and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, who have little time to think about themselves due to their care duties.
Practical
