In October, we celebrate Thanksgiving, a holiday where we pause and reflect on what we are grateful for in our
lives. Gratitude is widely perceived as a key factor to wellbeing by different cultures and faiths. There is growing
research in the relationship between the benefits of gratitude and caregiver coping. In this workshop, we will
examine gratitude as one intervention for coping and provide time saving and practical exercises to foster
gratitude.
