Alz ARK Caregiver Workshops
Our caregiver workshops are held in cities throughout the state where we provide FREE education, training, and support. These workshops provide family and professional caregivers with general information regarding Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia. Information includes disease progression, tools, knowledge, and techniques to improve caregiving skills, and even offer some self-care tips. Additionally, attendees will receive information about resources available to caregivers and those living with dementia through vendor exhibits. It is through the assistance of local community partners we provide these workshops!
Through programs like the AlzARK Caregiver Workshops, we are able to fulfill our mission to create a compassionate, welcoming and restorative community for family caregivers across the state who are caring for those with dementia, chronic illness or debilitating disease. Caregivers will be able to add new “tools” to their “caregiver toolbox” which can lead to improved care and quality of life for their loved ones as well as themselves.
We know how challenging it may be to attend in person, but we try to offer some financial assistance to offset costs of respite care through our mini-grants. We also have videos of past workshops that can be viewed at a time more convenient. These workshops are just a few of the respite activities we provide annually.
