Hope Through Caring Award Honoree-Anne Lidsky, PhD
At the 36th annual Hope Through Caring Gala, Anne Lidksy, PhD recived the Hope Through Caring Award. Anne was introduced by Bonny Gaffen and Joel Schechter.
Dr. Anne Lidsky has been a support group facilitator with the Les Turner ALS Foundation for more than 40 years. In her support groups, Anne creates an environment where caregivers can express their emotions freely - to cry and be honest with one another, but also to find moments of joy and self-care. She attends services and offers hugs to those who have walked alongside their loved ones until the end. Her work is a tribute, in her words, "to everyone who did their very best to bring sunshine into a world that was often challenging."
