Caregiver Survival Training Kit Includes:
Facilitator’s Guide
The purpose of this program is to help caregivers manage the emotional stress of caregiving. The Facilitator’s Guide provides a step-by-step process on how to present the information, encourage discussion, and help attendees develop personalized survival plans. Content can be covered in 6 to 10 hours, depending on the size of the group and the amount of discussion. Caregivers will learn about recognizing and coping with anger, guilt, depression, and grief. Also discussed is the issue of dementia-related inappropriate behavior. Take away lessons are:
- In order to care for the aged, chronically ill, or disabled, you must first learn to care for yourself
- There is an opportunity for mental and spiritual growth even in the very worst end-of-life situations
- As long as we have the ability to think and reason, we have the power to choose our attitude toward any person, thing, or event
One-hour consultation
Time with Elaine can be used at your discretion. She will work with you over the phone to answer questions and help you get prepared to present the course, or you could invite her to “attend” your workshop and interact with your group electronically via Skype.
