Caregiver Workshops and Training

To help family and friends who are who are caring for someone who is elderly or who has a long-term chronic illness, Hospice of Northwest Ohio offers assistance for caregivers.

Our team can help you find meaning in the caregiving experience.

The goal is for participants to learn:

• How simple things can help them cope with the stressors and losses of caregiving
• How to care for themselves so they can better care for their loved ones
• How to have difficult conversations
• How to make important decisions about end-of-life care
• How to maintain a positive, healthy and hope-filled outlook.
