Why should I enroll in CruiseRespite caregiver support seminars anyway?
- I am a family caregiver for a person with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia
- I have no time for myself
- I am tired all the time
- I have feelings of anger and burden
Before the caregiver support seminar, what is measurable?
- I am tired all the time; I have feelings of burden, guilt, anger, frustration and resentment.
- I need to feel empowered as a caregiver. I have little knowledge about my caregiving role.
- I feel a lack of education and caregiver support.
- I used to be a positive, " happy all the time," optimistic individual.
- I feel totally hopeless and helpless to deal with these devastating changes in my loved one.
After the caregiver support seminar, what is measurable?
- CruiseRespite has offered me an attitude change.
- CruiseRespite has given me so much knowledge and skills training
- I find now I can tap into my own inner resources to rediscover my sense of humor and peace, hope and joy in everyday living.
- I no longer feel hopeless and helpless.
- One graduate of CruiseRespite shares, "I couldn’t get my husband to change his socks. After learning the skills in CruiseRespite I can encourage him to change his whole outfit!"
