Many parents find themselves squeezed between the demands of a job, family life and providing care for an elderly parent. Now they can learn strategies for managing these demands at a free workshop, entitled The Sandwich Years that will be held at St. Monica’s Church in N.D.G. on April 11, 2012 from 7:15 p.m to 9 p.m. Participants will discuss burnout, self-care, community resources and the pros and cons of being a caregiver to an ailing parent.

Accredited teenage babysitters are available to watch kids aged 4 to 12 for free. People need to register one week prior to the event. St. Monica's Church is located at 6405 Terrebonne St., N.D.G.
