A Toast to Women Caregivers

March 8 is International Women’s Day.

According to the Pan American Health Organization (a division of the World Health Organization), “Some 80 percent of home health care in the Americas is provided by women, but this critical work is neither recognized nor remunerated.”  In fact, they say, “this invisible work is rarely even recognized as a skill.”  Their statement to the world could not be stronger:  “If the women of the world went on strike and suspended their community work in health for just one day, the consequences would be catastrophic for global welfare.”

Ready to extend a helping hand?  The Courageous Heart Program is a Self Confidence Coaching program that includes mindfulness practice and is designed just for women in the helping professions: Nurses, Therapists, Educators and anyone else who makes her living by giving.  The program helps build self confidence and improve self esteem for greater success in life.  It is now being offered in a small group setting.  Learn more HERE, and help a woman you know take care of herself so she can continue to make a difference in the lives of others.

And make a virtual “toast” to these women – tell us about them and the light they shine in the world!
