Caring for another person is often one of the most demanding experiences a person may face in their lifetime. The Caregiving Education and Resource Program at Hospice of St. Francis is a national curriculum designed specifically for caregivers by caregivers. Attendees receive the education necessary to “care for the caregiver” – both current and future. At some point in our lives, we will most likely be the caregiver for someone or be cared for by someone.
The training program consists of six-90 minute classes. Hospice of St. Francis’ programs and training classes are offered at no cost to Brevard County residents.
Each class focuses on a different caregiver issue:
Class 1: The Experience of Caregiving –
Class 2: Important Decisions and Communication
Class 3: Community and Personal Relationships
Class 4: Care of Self with Care of Others
Class 5: Meaning, Purpose and Finality of Life
Class 6: Grief and Bereavement
