Family Caregivers Workshop

We are in the midst of planning a workshop for family caregivers.  The location has been reserved and deposits paid.  The date is August 15.

So far I have two speakers committed:  one is the program director at an adult day center and the other is a registered nurse at an adult day center.

To insure that the workshop is relevant and what family caregivers need, I would appreciate your feedback.  We are looking at a four hour workshop, from 10 AM until 2 PM.  What do you think of the following format:

  • four speakers, 35-40 minutes each
  • 10 minutes for questions after each speaker
  • last 30 minutes for open sharing
  • workshop fee, $30 per person

Also, what topics would you suggest?  If you were to attend a workshop for family caregivers, what are your three most pressing issues that you would want addressed?

We are excited about this workshop.  I look forward to hearing your suggestions.  Also, if you are in the Atlanta area on August 15th, I’d like to see you at the workshop.  More specifics later.
