STEPHEN MINISTRY FAITH AND LIFE SERIES “TAKE TIME TO BREATHE: HOW TO CARE FOR THE CAREGIVER” Monday, January 11, 2016 - 7:00PM - Room 120 We don't expect to become caregivers until circumstances require it. It can be an unknown and rocky path as we try to meet the needs of a family member. As a certified Geriatric Care Manager, Ruth Rothbart-Mayer will lead a discussion on navigating the problems of care giving and finding the balance. Ms. Rothbart-Mayer comes to us as a volunteer from the United Way of Northern New Jersey's Caregiver Coalition. We met Ms. Mayer in October when our Stephen Ministry hosted a networking meeting of over 50 Stephen Ministers from many different churches. She was very well received and we are delighted to have her back!
