A Delicate Balance: Balancing Your Life with Caring for A Loved One, $25

by Luann Boyer, Gisele Jefferson, and Bonnie Sherman Colorado State University Cooperative Extension XCM-203, 25 minutes, Video with supporting lessons, 1996.

The over-85 population is the fastest growing segment of our population. As families try to balance their lives, families, and careers with the needs of an elderly family member, they face the challenging situations that can produce frustration, guilt and often anger.

A Delicate Balance was produced for health care professionals, agencies, and educators to assist in educating individuals faced with this dilemma. This program helps individuals learn how to balance their lives while caring for a loved one. The program packet includes a video, sample lesson plan, fact sheets, a care-giving checklist, and lesson evaluation. Order here.
