TED Talks- May Episode: What the people of the Amazon know that you don't. "The greatest and most endangered species in the Amazon rainforest is not the jaguar or the harpy eagle," says Mark Plotkin, "It's the isolated and uncontacted tribes." In an energetic and sobering talk, the ethnobotanist brings us into the world of the forest's indigenous tribes and the incredible medicinal plants that their shamans use to heal. He outlines the challenges and perils that are endangering them — and their wisdom — and urges us to protect this irreplaceable repository of knowledge. Friday, May 10 ● 10:00am ● NO COST

In this powerful, hopeful talk, Rader shows what it's like on the front lines of this crisis -- and how her community is taking an unusual new approach to treating substance-abuse disorder that starts with listening.

They were looking for a win and Sabella was an easy target -- she didn’t speak English, she was foreign, and the jurymen saw her as haggard and dangerous. Could anyone save her? Ugly Prey is a piece of lost history. Ugly Prey is a timeless story of judgment, deception, and redemption.

Over the Tavern at the Theater at the Center (Anticipate minimal walking) - Munster, IN In that most idealized period of 20th-century America, the Eisenhower years of the 1950s, the Pazinski family has a lot going on in their cramped Buffalo apartment.

Caregiver Burnout

Being able to recognize the signs of burnout as a caregiver is extremely important and should not be taken lightly. Caregivers who are burned out may experience fatigue, stress, anxiety, depression, or isolation. Signs of burnout can also include irritability, emotional and physical exhaustion, change in sleep patterns, getting sick more often, loss of interest in activities, or withdrawal from family or friends. This is because so often, caregivers are focused on the needs of the one they are caring for and tend to neglect their own emotional, physical, and spiritual health.

Social Services

Caregiver burnout is being in a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. Experiencing caregiver burnout is not something to be ashamed of and it does not mean you do not love the one you are taking care of. Since caregiving is often a long-term challenge it places demands on a caregiver's body, mind, and emotions that can eventually lead to burnout.

How do we prevent burnout? Ask for help and support! Nobody can do this alone, and you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to. Support groups are useful in communicating with others who are in similar situations to you in sharing your frustrations but also your delights. Niles Family Services offers a caregiver support group on the second Tuesday of every month from 2:00pm3:00pm. Please reach out to Angelika Danek, Senior Social Work Coordinator, at (847) 588-8472 or the Niles Family Services front desk at (847) 588-8460 to RSVP or to learn more about the group.

While this group will support people coping with grief and bereavement, we welcome participants managing other types of loss. This program is open to Niles residents only and meets the third Wednesday of each month from 3:00-4:30pm. Upcoming meeting dates are May 15 and June 19, 2019. There is no cost to attend the program, but registration is required. Please contact Barbara Duran at 847-588-8467 for more information.
