FOND DU LAC, Wis. – Lakeland Care, Inc. (LCI), an organization focused on building better lives through programs that care for and inspire our communities, is joining with Pyx Health to provide free compassionate support for all caregivers in Wisconsin. Pyx is already a benefit many Lakeland Care members have been using and enjoying.
A caregiver is anyone (paid or unpaid) who regularly looks after or provides care to another individual. Caregiving comes with unique challenges and stresses. As a caregiver in the Pyx program, you will receive:
- Free, unlimited calls to the trained staff who understand the challenges of caregiving.
- Activities and tools to support you as a caregiver and help you feel less alone.
- Access to resources like support groups, mental health resources, and community resources.
Pyx Health Caregivers Program is an app that provides 24/7 companionship, self-management tools, and access to resources and screenings. Pyx Health is an engaging platform where people get the help they need right when they need it. It helps caregivers with the loneliness and isolation, stress, and caregiver fatigue that often comes with the full-time care of others. “Caregivers do so much for others, and at Lakeland Care, we want them to know they are not alone. Our commitment to helping improve the lives of those we serve extends to our community. We are excited to offer this opportunity to any caregiver who can benefit from this program, whether they are part of Lakeland Care or not,” said Jenifer Harrison, Chief Program Officer for Lakeland Care. “It’s a confidential, easy, and individualized program to use. Caregivers can use this anytime that works for them. Download the app and get started. It’s that easy!” Caregivers are not alone.
