A growing number of people in our
society are serving as caregivers for
a family member. But caregivers
need care and support, too.
Beth Ahm is offering a three-part
series on Thursday nights in May
that will highlight various aspects
of the caregiving challenge. All three
programs will take place at 7:30 p.m.
The series is free and open to the
community. It is designed especially
for those who are currently caregiv-
ers for a family member or for whom
a family caregiving situation is antic-
ipated to arise soon. Others who
are interested in the subject are also
welcome to attend. The sessions can
be attended separately.
On Thursday night, May 4, the
topic will be Medical Issues, includ-
ing patient advocacy, integrative
medicine, self-care, palliative care
and hospice care, featuring Drs.
Maureen Anderson, Leslie Bricker
and Carol DeVore.
The second session, on Thursday
night, May 11, will focus on Legal
Issues, including planning before,
during and after a crisis and being
a patient advocate, featuring attor-
neys Sanford J. Mall and Sara Zivian
Zwickl.
The series will conclude on
Thursday night, May 18, with a Self-
Care Fair for caregivers, featuring a
discussion of the overarching issues
facing caregivers, with opportunities
to meet with a massage therapist,
personal trainer, acupuncturist and
aroma therapist.
Beth Ahm is located at 5075 W.
Maple Road, West Bloomfield. For

JFNA Grant To Blue Card
Will Help Holocaust Survivors
The Blue Card, a national non-
profit organization dedicated to
providing ongoing, direct aid to
Holocaust survivors in the United
States, has been selected to receive
a grant of $120,000 from the Jewish
Federations of North America
(JFNA).
Overall, JFNA, through its Center
for Advancing Holocaust Survivor
Care, will distribute $2.8 million
in grants to 34 organizations in 18
states, that, when combined with
matching funds required by the
grant, will result in over $4.6 million
in funding for new programming.
The Jewish Federations of North
America launched the Center for
Advancing Holocaust Survivor Care
in the fall of 2015, following an
award from the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services for
up to $12 million over five years to
advance innovations in providing
PCTI services for Holocaust survi-
vors in the United States. “PCTI”
care is a holistic approach that
promotes the dignity, strength and
empowerment of trauma victims.
The Blue Card program,
“PCTI Training for Healthcare
Professionals,” will educate dental
and medical providers on identify-
ing and treating the unique needs of
Holocaust survivors. •
