Caregiver Education Opportunities

Sometimes becoming a caregiver can feel like starting a new job. And like any new job, the more you know the more confident you will feel. Take advantage of educational opportunities to learn more about the illness of the person you are caring for, understand strategies to communicate with others and ways to manage your emotions during difficult times.

Classes through Wilder Caregiver Services

Wilder Caregiver Services frequently offers educational opportunities for caregivers, including:

Powerful Tools for Caregivers

This six-week evidence-based program provides caregivers with tools to gain better communication techniques, increase self-care and build confidence while managing emotions.

Caregiving Roadmap
