What are Caring for the Caregiver Kits?
The caregiver kits include materials that help the caregiver understand and manage their own stress such as through meditation, journal prompts, and a yoga for beginners DVD. In addition, the kits have materials to help caregivers learn to cope with taking care of their loved one such as a book with activities to use with a dementia patient. The second component includes materials to help the caregiver understand and learn how to interact with their loved one more effectively and beneficially.
