    Are you caring for both your children and an aging parent at the same time? If so, you are not alone, and you may feel pulled in many directions. This webinar is designed for people who are “in the middle,” balancing family, work, and caregiving.

    Drawing on The Sandwich Generation Handbook by Dr. Irina Koyfman, a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Nurse Practitioner, and former Board Member of The Coordinating Center (2021–2024), this session will share simple, practical tools to help you feel more organized, less stressed, and more supported.

    This session will help you:

    • Understand what it means to be part of the “sandwich generation.”
    • Learn simple tools to manage caregiving for both children and aging loved ones
    • Find ways to reduce stress and avoid burnout
    • Know what questions to ask and how to advocate for your family
    • Build a plan that works for your life

     Dr. Koyfman is also the President and CEO of Affinity Expert, a healthcare consulting firm, and brings extensive experience in care coordination, chronic care management, and supporting individuals and families navigating complex health needs.

Mental Health First Aid is likened to CPR certification, where information is shared to assist individuals experiencing mental health or substance use-related issues. Specific risk factors and warning signs are discussed, with shared strategies to meet the needs of individuals with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychoses, substance abuse disorders, and trauma. The outcome focus is the development of recovery and resiliency.
