"Respiro" (rehs-pee-roh) means breath in Spanish. It is said that you can't pour from an empty cup. That is our reason for being.

Millions of individuals care for senior family and friends. They often take on this responsibility in an unplanned way and are unprepared for the many challenges. Caregiver burnout is real and it's hard to help others when you're physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted.

Do you feel stressed, isolated, or plain worn out as a caregiver? Here are two ways to connect with us...

• Join Caregiver Corner. This is a Meetup group for those who care for older adults and are looking to meet others in similar situations. We offer opportunities to share and learn via virtual and in-person events.

• Schedule a call. We're here to listen, discuss, provide fun social/informational opportunities, and offer supportive resources.
