This free program is designed to help caregivers care for themselves while caring for a loved one, whether that loved one lives with them or lives in a care facility, and whether they are distant caregivers or are helping a friend or neighbor.
Powerful Tools for Caregivers can help caregivers identify and manage stress, manage difficult feelings due to losses, schedule changes, increased responsibilities, trying to manage work and caregiving, etc. They will also learn effective communication tools and several relaxation techniques that can help ease the challenges of caregiving.
Join former Wisconsin Governor Martin J. Schreiber as he shares lessons from his journey as a caregiver for his late wife, Elaine, who lived with Alzheimer's disease. Governor Schreiber will candidly describe his challenges and missteps, and highlight how compassion and humor provide comfort to both caregiver and the person with dementia. His raw honesty and practical advice will inspire other caregivers to find the patience, courage and love as they climb the Alzheimer's mountain. Alzheimer's disease is bad. Ignorance of the disease is worse.
Six week evidence-based workshop gives caregivers the tools and confidence to take care of their loved ones and themselves.
Class is free and includes a workbook.
