Setting Boundaries While Caregiving

Presented by Jorge Aguilar-Zanatta, MD
Chief of Psychiatry, Danbury and New Milford Hospitals

Caregivers may worry that others perceive setting boundaries as cold or unempathetic. However, boundaries can be effective when caring for others and for ourselves.  Join us for a virtual roundtable with Dr. Aguilar-Zanatta where we will discuss what healthy boundaries can look like and how we can implement them in our lives. Registration is required.
