Caregiving ain’t easy
Caregiving is not an easy job whether the person is known to you or not, but it can be a learning experience.
On April 25, Chemeketa’s lifelong learning program is hosting an all-day caregiving workshop at the Northwest Viticulture Center in West Salem.
Join Elaine K. Sanchez, author of the tender, gritty, and uproariously funny book, Letters from Madelyn, Chronicles of a Caregiver, as she presents a practical and uplifting set of strategies for coping with anger, guilt, depression and grief. Sanchez’s presentation will touch on the resources available to help keep a loved one at home as well and need-to-know information about assisted and skilled nursing facilities. Participants develop a personalized survival plan to achieve physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual balance.
The workshop is schedule from 9 to 5 p.m.
Cost: $120 for non-credit registration (includes CEUs for professionals) and includes a light breakfast, buffet lunch and evening wine and hors d’oeuvres. Call 503-399-5181 to register with Visa or MasterCard.
