Caregiving Essentials: First Steps (Part #1 Steps to Resilience; Part #2 Physical Care & Safety)
About this Event

This two-part workshop is for informal, non-paid family caregivers and touches upon common caregiver issues. In the morning, Part#1 Steps to Resilience, topics are discussed such as communication strategies, legal and financial matters, housing, memory care & dementias, end of life planning, and many others. In Part #2 Physical Care & Safety, we have an apartment like room which is set up to demonstrate and assist caregivers in learning proper body mechanics to not hurt your back, home safety and assistive devices, setting up an emergency plan and other useful topics.

For questions, call Donna at Pima Council on Aging, (520) 790-7573 ext. 1750, [email protected]

For possible respite during training, call Arizona Caregiver Coalition 888.737.7494 or our Helpline 520-790-7262.

NOTE: If staying for both, bring your own lunch. Only water and coffee will be available.
