Caring for older people

May 22
What do you do when the relationship between yourself and the person you care for changes? Come and join us for a free morning session at Caulfield Hospital which looks at how relationships change and adapt to different circumstances, even when one person is no longer able to actively participate due to illness, personality change, cognitive decline or brain injury.  This workshop will be facilitated by Carers Victoria.

How often have you found yourself saying "yes" to an outing you really didn't want to go on or agreed to help a friend when you did not have the time?  In this workshop, held at Caulfield Hospital, you will learn some ways to increase your assertive communication skills to help you to state clearly your own needs or wishes without feeling guilty.  This workshop will be facilitated by Carers Victoria.

Carers of older people, why not join us for a free workshop to be held in Dandenong which will help you understand how residential respite works.  Caring for someone often comes with numerous challenges and expectations, without the opportunity to take a break for yourself.  Regular breaks can assist you to unwind and to sustain a longer term caring role.
