Toolbox for Caregivers
Check out the Toolbox for Caregivers Class to help find ways to take care of your own health to better provide care for your loved one. Often we do not see ourselves as a Caregiver, just as our role in life.
This class provides tools for you, the Caregiver, to:
- reduce stress in your life
- change negative thoughts to positive actions
- communicate feelings and needs to others
- set limits and stick to them
- ASK for help, very difficult to do!
- deal with real frustrations and emotions such as anger, guilt, depression
- make very tough decisions
Participants leave with not only knowledge, but also an action plan for making their lives and the life of their loved one more healthy.
Registration is required. A donation is asked to help cover the costs of the class.
