Research studies show there are high rates of depression and anxiety among caregivers because they often feel they have no control over events. That feeling of powerlessness has a significant negative impact on caregivers’ physical and emotional health.

This evidence-based workshop is designed to have positive impact on the health of a diverse group of caregivers, including adult children of aging parents, spouses/partners, caregivers at differing stages in their caregiving roles, living situations, financial, and educational backgrounds.

In the six weekly classes, caregivers learn self-care behaviors, how to manage emotions, increase self-efficacy and find community resources.

Topics Include:

  • Taking Care of You
  • Communicating in Challenging Situations
  • Identifying and Reducing Personal Stress
  • Learning From Our Emotions
  • Communicating Feelings, Needs, and Concerns
  • Mastering Caregiving Decisions
