The Center for Closing the Health Gap

Caregivers spend more than 30 hours providing care and many experience stress, depression, risk of illness and even sometimes death. Black caregivers need emotional, financial and healthcare support to maintain their wellbeing when caring for their loved ones. If you know someone or are a caregiver yourself to anyone over the age of 60, please tell them about our upcoming sessions. Please call 513-585-9879 or register for the upcoming session that begins April 7th, here: https://lnkd.in/guqkGchz We Must Save Us.
