Session 5: The Wellness Equation and the Vedanta Constant

This Wellness Workshop, led by Poonam Merai (Geriatric Medicine) and guided by Shankarji, tackled the topic, “Caring for Aging Parents as Sadhana.” This session, held on March 15, 2020, was geared towards caregivers and future caregivers of their aging parents. Managing the health and well being of aging parents can be joyful but also overwhelming!

Poonam Merai, a practicing Geriatrician, explored how to find joy in the caregiving process by framing caring for aging parents as Sadhana. She also explored caregiver burnout, how to navigate care options, and ways to be pillar of support to parents and grandparents.
