Webinar from Les Turner ALS Foundation: Family Caregivers: Angels in Agony

February 6 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST

Free

About the Program

Every caregiver — and every caregiving journey — is unique, but there are some commonalities among caregivers of family members living with ALS. Most say caregiving is at the same time challenging, exhausting, rewarding, and full of unexpected emotions. Linda Levine is a caregiver for her husband David Buseck, a person with ALS. Together they share how they try daily to strike a balance between stepping up for the needs of the other while maintaining their own identities and wellness. Join us as they share tools illustrated by real life, relatable, examples that will help caregivers feel better, rather than bitter, at the end of the day.

The Les Turner ALS Foundation is proud to offer this webinar at no cost to the ALS community. Thank you to the Gilbert & Jacqueline Fern Foundation, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America, & Biogen for sponsoring this webinar.
