We have taken our caregiver education options online so that we continue to support family caregivers safely. See below for upcoming classes.
Our classes and workshops help family caregivers in southeast Michigan and metro Detroit take care of themselves while caring for an aging or disabled relative or friend. It doesn’t matter what your situation is—whether you are caring for someone who lives with you, lives in an assisted living facility or a nursing home, or you’re a long-distance caregiver. Our classes and workshops are free and are typically held in neighborhoods across our six-county region.
