CareGiver Program- Facilitator Assistant

Save to Favorites

Good news for family and friends who are caring for older adults...support is on the way! A new series of the Riverside County Office on Aging’s "Care Pathways" program is being offered in key locations, in the Coachella Valley. This program provides a series of weekly workshops designed to offer information and support to family caregivers who face challenges managing their caregiving responsibilities for a friend or loved one, 60 years of age or older. A graduate from an earlier class said "This class has made a difficult situation bearable" and another wrote "I am less stressed and depressed. Now I feel like I have a future."

This series of 12 workshops will cover subjects such as: Living with Dementia, Preventing Caregiver Burnout, Managing Medications, Talking to the Doctor, Understanding Legal Issues, Stress Prevention,Relief and Communicating in Challenging Situations, and more. The workshops are conducted in a supportive setting, with facilitators who understand the challenges that caregivers face, and who can provide powerful tools to assist caregivers to manage their tasks with confidence, increase their self-care, and thrive.

A volunteer assistant is needed to help the Facilator with these workshops. Classes take place in Indio, and they are the 3rd Tuesday of every month. They usually run between 1-2 hours. An assistant can help set up the room, take attendance, take minutes during the class, and help process any paperwork. The classes are as followed and start at 1pm:
2/19/19
3/19/19
4/16/19
