Live Online Family Caregiving Event to Feature Tennessee Author Peter Rosenberger

 
Franklin, North Carolina — AARP today announced it will broadcast a live online family caregiving event from Nashville featuring author and speaker Peter Rosenberger.

Rosenberger, founder of Caregivers With Hope, will be featured in a free interactive webinar titled “Unstuck: Lightening the Heart of the Family Caregiver with Humor,” Thursday, August 25th. You can register to watch the online event at: https://aarp.cvent.com/caregiverncfranklin or call 828-380-6242.

A live simulcast of the event will be held at The Crawford Senior Center, 108 Wayah Street, Franklin, NC 28734 @ 7:00 pm.  Light refreshments to be served.

 Participants will learn how to lighten their heart, rediscover their identity and find a safe emotional path – with a healthy dose of Peter’s outrageous humor and candor.

“After more than 30 years on the path as a family caregiver for my wife Gracie – including 78 operations, the amputation of both her legs, 60 doctors in 12 hospitals and $9 million medical bills – I’ve learned: it’s okay to laugh,” Rosenberg said.
 
AARP has announced it will give everyone who registers for the webinar will receive an electronic copy of Peter’s book, “Seven Landmines for Caregivers & How You Can Avoid Them.”  Those who attend an in-person watch party will have the chance to win a copy of Peter’s book.
 
The webinar, which is part of AARP’s nationwide educational series on family caregiving, will be open to participants nationwide and a simulcast at local sites around the country.

 “Humor is a healthy express of a healthy heart – not a defense mechanism,” said Rosenberger, founding of Caregivers with Hope. “I’ve learned that family caregivers cannot only survive, but thrive in the midst of oftentimes grim circumstances. “
