Virtual workshop for caregivers sponsored by the Tri-County Office on Aging

POWERFUL TOOLS FOR CAREGIVERS will benefit you whether you are helping a parent, spouse, friend or someone who lives at home, in a nursing home, or across the country. This workshop focuses on self-care for you, the caregiver. The workshop will not focus on specific diseases or hands-on care.

In this workshop, learn how to:

  • Take care of yourself
  • Reduce stress and help you relax
  • Make tough decisions
  • Reduce guilt, anger and depression
  • Communicate effectively
  • Work with family, providers and care staff
  • Set goals, problem-solve and more!

Cost is FREE but donations are accepted.

Workshop via zoom meets on Thursdays, April 15 to May 20 at 1:00 - 2:30 pm.

To register, call Tri-County Office on Aging at 517-887-1465 or e-mail Christine at histedc@tcoa.org.
