AARP Wyoming has transformed its successful Care for Caregivers in-person series into a fully replicable toolkit designed to help community organizations better support caregivers in their area. Drawing from three years of delivering this program across the state of Wyoming, the toolkit offers a flexible curriculum that organizations can tailor to meet the unique needs of their local communities.
