Powerful tools for Caregivers: Practical Support for Caregivers

In six weekly classes, caregivers develop a wealth of self-care tools to reduce personal stress; communicate their needs to family members and healthcare/service providers in challenging situations; recognize the messages in their emotions, deal with difficult feelings; and make tough caregiving decisions (re: placement, driving issues, or finances). Class participants also receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook developed for this class. Supportive day program available for seniors as needed by caregiver. Please inquire. Presented by: Renée Merritt, Family Caregiver Support Program Manager, Elder Services of Merrimack Valley. Pre-registration required.
