Taking Care of You: Powerful Tools for Caregivers | February 7, 2012
If you provide assistance to someone who is ill, disabled, or needs help with daily activities, you are a caregiver. Caregiving is often rewarding, but can be very stressful. This three-part education program, led by trained facilitators, is intended to provide family caregivers the skills they need to take better care of themselves and to feel more confident in the care they provide. The class will be held on Tuesdays, February 7th, 14th, and 21st from 10:00am - 1:00pm at Dove Healthcare-West, 1405 Truax Blvd, Eau Claire. A light lunch is provided and a fee of $20 covers The Caregiver Helpbook and supporting class materials. Seating is limited and registration is required by February 4th. Call the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Eau Claire County at 715-839-4735.
