Preparing To Be a Caregiver

If you’re you caring for a loved one or expect to soon, gain some smart strategies to guide your caregiving journey.

About the Event

Taking care of a loved one at home can be a challenging and lonely responsibility even as it offers its own rewards. Developing a team approach to caregiving and identifying helpful resources in your community can help make caregiving more manageable. We’ll explore key steps in the planning process, including:  

• How to start the conversations about caregiving  
• Strategies for forming your caregiving team  
• Ways to find local resources and support   
• How to care for yourself and connect with other caregivers   

After the workshop, participants will receive AARP tools and resources such as the AARP Montana Family Caregiver Resource Guide and AARP’s Prepare to Care publication.
