In the six 1½ hour classes, caregivers will develop a wealth of self-care tools to: reduce personal stress; change negative self-talk; communicate their needs to family members and healthcare/ service providers; communicate more effectively in challenging situations; recognize the messages in their emotions, deal with difficult feelings; and make tough care giving decisions. Class participants will also receive a copy of The Caregiver Helpbook, developed specifically for the class.
