Powerful Tools for Caregivers

“Powerful Tools for Caregivers” is an educational series designed to provide family caregivers with tools needed to take care of themselves while caring for others. Classes consist of interactive sessions, discussions and brainstorming to help participants take the “tools” they choose and put them into action in their lives.

We will email you Zoom login details when the time comes. Class is 6 weeks with sessions from 1pm to 3pm every Thursday starting February 29, 2024 and ending on April 4, 2024. We ask that you be able to commit to all 6 weeks of instruction as each session builds upon the skills learned in the previous sessions.

Class #4: Communicating in Challenging Situations 
Participants practice two communication tools – assertiveness and Aikido – which are helpful in difficult situations. They learn a four-step process, called DESC (Describe, Express, Specify, and Consequence) for using the assertive style of communication. With Aikido, participants learn how to align and find “common ground” with a person who is distressed. A segment highlights guidelines for communicating with a person who is memory impaired. 
 

Space is limited.
