November is National Family Caregivers Month
Shortly after I became Gladys’ caregiver, I joined the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA). If you are a caregiver for a family member or friend, this organization is a good source of information. You can’t beat the cost of membership because it is free. The information below is from the most recent newsletter.
National Family Caregivers Month
Every year we celebrate family caregivers during the month of November. National Family Caregivers Month is a time to thank, support, educate and empower one another. This year is particularly exciting because it’s NFCA’s 15th anniversary.
As part of the celebration, we are launching a FREE National TeleClass to teach family caregivers how to communicate more effectively with healthcare professionals.
When: Thursday, November 6 and 13, at 2 PM Eastern time
How: By phone and Internet - The TeleClass will be FREE to all family caregivers
Why: The TeleClass will empower family caregivers to be better healthcare advocates for themselves and their loved ones.For more information on National Family Caregivers Month and the National TeleClass, visit www.thefamilycaregiver.org or call 800-896-3650.

I have signed up for this class and will report back on the details.
