Caregivers

Overview

Caregivers

Caring for someone with Alzheimer's of another form of dementia can place great demands on the family members who provide care. Fortunately, help is on the way in the form of LifeSkills training!

The Williams LifeSkills Caregiver Kit video and workbook are designed to help family caregivers successfully cope with the day-to-day stresses that come with being a caregiver. The skills that you will learn as a part of your LifeSkills training have been scientifically proven to help reduce anxiety and depression. Plus, you can complete LifeSkills training in the comfort of your home without leaving your caregiving duties behind.

As part of LifeSkills training, you will learn 10 valuable skills that will help you:

• Become aware of your thoughts and feelings
• Learn to separate thoughts from feelings and to track them through log-keeping
• Use the "I A-M WORTH IT!"™ system to decide on the best possible course of action
• Know when to act and when to get over it
• Use techniques to relax in situations that are out of your control
• Say "No" effectively
• Speak up when you need to
• Communicate more clearly
• Improve your listening skills
