One of the important community presentations that caregiving volunteers conduct is the Prepare to Care Workshop. These free workshops provide information and resources to help caregivers better care for themselves and their loved ones. Participants learn five steps every caregiver should take: How to Start the Conversation; Forming a Team; Making a Family Plan, Finding Support; and the Importance of Caring for Yourself.

Training will be provided. If you are interested in making a difference in this special way, please contact Lou Tobian at ltobian@aarp.org or 501-217-1638.
