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.

Kits are checked out for six (6) weeks and may only be renewed once.
