Do you have respite? Family caregivers play a critical role in supporting individuals who need long-term services and supports. Respite provides an opportunity for family caregivers of individuals with disabilities, chronic health conditions or who are aging to take a much- needed break to care for themselves. Research shows that when family caregivers take time for themselves, they are better caregivers and continue in the caregiving role. For more information, please visit our website at: www.respite.ne.gov This website is a free service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It provides contact information for statewide Respite Coordinators and assistance in finding Nebraska Lifespan Respite Network-screened respite providers that best fit a family’s needs and location. Blue Rivers Area Agency on Aging • Table Talk • August 2021 STRESS BUSTERS 05 ARE YOU A CAREGIVER? Just about everyone is, at some point in time! Do you help your spouse with daily activities? Do you help an aging parent with chores or money management? Do you help a grandparent with grocery shopping or lawn mowing? Are you helping raise your grandchildren? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you are a caregiver! Sometimes that caregiving role can take over your life. Sometimes it seems like you don’t have a life of your own anymore. You are NOT the only one feeling that stress! Stress-Busters, a program offered by Blue Rivers, is just what you need! Stress-Busters is an evidence-based program that helps caregivers learn to spot the effects of stress, learn various ways to create relaxation when you need it, and how to face the challenges of caregiving. Stress-Busters show you how to change negative thinking into positive, coping skills when facing unchangeable stressors, and how to develop a healthier lifestyle. The class is fun, confidential, interactive and it’s FREE! The class is just 90 minutes a day, once a week, for 9 weeks on Zoom. If you have a smartphone, tablet or computer you can join us, no matter where you are! We will even provide you with the handbook. Classes will start soon. Please call our office today to register or for more information 402-223-1376 or 888-989-9417. What do you have to lose......just that stress!

  • CPB-Stabilization-Funding-Request
    Corporation for Public Broadcasting Stabilization Funding Request and Justification FY 2021 Submitted to the Office of Management and Budget and to the House and Senate Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies January 26, 2021 Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) FY 2021 Stabilization Funding Request STATEMENT OF NEED AND REQUEST The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (“CPB”) is very appreciative of the $75 million in stabilization funding in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act of 2020. This financial assistance was vital in providing stability to our nation’s public media system during the early months of the crisis. Today, we request an additional $175 million in stabilization funding to ensure the continued viability of public media stations during this period of extraordinary economic hardship. Although our data indicates that public media’s stabilization needs exceed $400 million, we are mindful of the difficult decisions the new Administration and Congress must make during this time. CPB’s mission is to ensure universal access to high-quality, non-commercial content and telecommunications services that educate, inform and enrich the public. Further, in many states and local communities, public media stations’ digital and broadcast infrastructure provide the backbone for emergency alert, public safety, first responder and homeland security services. If stations are forced to cut additional jobs or further reduce content and services, their
