It can be especially challenging to provide optimal care for your loved one and maintain your own physical and emotional health while doing so. Caregivers require as much outside assistance and support as possible to manage successfully and maintain their own health and well-being. This training highlights navigating the process of changing roles, proper planning, and the potential impact on your employment.
