During the six-week series, family caregivers will learn self-care tools to reduce personal stress, change negative self-talk, communicate their needs to family members and health care or service providers, communicate more effectively in challenging situations, recognize messages in their emotions, deal with difficult feelings and how to make tough caregiving decisions.
Attendance is required at all six classes. A $25 deposit for course materials will be collected at the first class and refunded upon completion of the six-week series. Participants who complete the series will receive “The Caregiver Helpbook” at no charge.
