Caregiver Education

Workshops and seminars are available to help you master the practical skills of caregiving such as administering medication, fall prevention, or how to support your loved one with dementia.

Workshops

The Center for Caregiver Support offers frequent workshops focused on essential topics for those caring for a loved one with a life-limiting illness. Currently, YoloCares is offering free dementia care workshops led by Laura Wayman, the Dementia Whisperer, monthly for the fall of 2024. Call (530) 758-5566 to register. Please check the Caregiver Events calendar for details.

The Center for Caregiver Support offers a quarterly caregiver retreat which focuses on helping participants explore their experiences as a caregiver with a group of like-minded individuals.

“ The [Caregiver Retreat] was a perfect endeavor from start to finish as Amy and David greeted us, receiving the materials, the spacious and lovely meeting room, the coffee and all that came with that, the lunch and all that came with that, I mean down to the beautiful gardens and the clean and lovely bathrooms-everything was beautiful! Thank you very much!”
