	Apr 8 - Noon - 1pm - UA Caregiver Support Group Su Copper Room UA Life & Work Connections, in collaboration with Pima Health System Caregiver Education & Support Program, announces the formation of a caregiver support group meeting on the second Wednesday of each month in addition to the current monthly sessions. Several participants indicated that, "The support group really helps us feel acknowledged as caregivers. Now we have a place to share our concerns and develop new coping skills. Meeting once a month doesn't give us enough time to both learn about helpful resources and to share with one another." As one attendee said, "I have wanted to attend a caregiver support group for a long time, but I am too tired to go anywhere after work, especially since I have both child care and parent care obligations in the evening. I am grateful that the U of A is supporting employees in this way."    The "open-ended" support group meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month, and is facilitated by a Master's level professional known in the Tucson area for her expertise in caregiving, aging and health care. Participants may attend on a regular basis or less frequently, as needed.   According to Jan Sturges, Caregiving Coordinator at Life and Work Connections, "This University of Arizona community collaboration enables our department to expand the scope of resources available to employees and students who are caring for a dependent older adult. Research indicates that caregivers are at least 30-40% more likely to experience symptoms of stress and burnout than the general population. Caregivers also report that some of the most difficult aspects of caregiving are loneliness and isolation. Networking with other caregivers is a healthy way for them to connect with people who have similar concerns, and to share ideas for coping with the daily issues they face. Participating in a caregiver support group is a great way to refocus, re-energize and rebalance."   For more information about the caregiver support group, or to schedule an elder care consultation, please contact Jan Sturges at 626-4770 or sturgesj@email.arizona.edu

	Curb Auto Theft with the Watch Your Car Program: It's Quick, Easy and FREE! The Watch Your Car decal program is a free, voluntary program that vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) database and participants receive decals for their front and rear windows. By displaying the decals, vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials that their vehicle is not usually in use between the hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also authorize law enforcement officials to stop their vehicle at any time during the day or night within one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that the vehicle is being illegally operated. If a police officer witnesses the vehicle in operation between these hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and verify it is being legally operated by the rightful owner. To register for the program online go to: https://www.aata.state.az.us/Watch_Your_Car/Info_Request/signup_request.html Register by mail by downloading the form at: http://www.azwatchyourcar.com/pdfs/WYC%20-%20application%20form%20for%20website.pdf  Print it, fill it out and mail back.
