Building Better Caregivers:

Are you taking care of a family member or friend who is living with long lasting physical and/or mental health conditions? Do you spend at least 10 hours per week helping your loved one with things like finances, emotional support, legal issues, physical care, or activities of daily living?

If you answered "yes", sign up today for a Building Better Caregivers workshop. This six-week workshop can help you deal with the challenges of being a caregiver.

You'll learn how to reduce stress, manage difficult behaviors, take better care of your own health, get the help you need, and communicate better with family, friends, and health care teams.
