NYPL Weill Cornell Medicine Wellness Series: Caring For the Caregiver

March 29, 2023
4:00pm

REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Virtual event

 With an increasing older adult population the need for caregiving is growing. Caregiving can affect the caregiver’s life in a myriad of ways including his/her ability to work, engage in social interactions and relationships, and maintain good physical and mental health. It is critical to understand this and explore ways in which we can care for the caregiver. Join us for a caregiver presentation for those who care for older adults as part of the Weill Cornell Medicine Wellness Series in partnership with the St. Agnes Library. Nicole Butler, Ph.D. is an Instructor of Psychology in Psychiatry at Weill Cornell Medicine. Dr. Butler specializes in adult psychotherapy and uses evidencebased treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy, to help patients with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and related disorders. She also has expertise in behavioral management for people with migraine and chronic pain.
