Caring for a loved one with a chronic health condition is challenging in many ways. Peg Schuetz, LCPC, Director of Adult Day Services at Advocate Condell Medical Center, will address how caregivers can manage stress and the importance of taking a break. She will also talk about how to tell if a caregiver needs help and how to recognize signs that a higher level of care might be needed.
