Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia is one of the most demanding roles a person can take on. It impacts emotionally, physically, and mentally. The Senior Resource Center at Family Services and the Moultrie County Health Department are teaming up to offer a free resource designed specifically for family caregivers. In other words: you don’t have to do this alone.
The ‘Stress Busting Program’ for family caregivers begins on Tuesday, May 19, and runs through July 14, meeting weekly from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Moultrie County Health Department, 202 S. Main St. in Sullivan. The program gives participants practical stress management techniques, relaxation and coping strategies, and the chance to connect with others who truly understand what they’re going through.
Registration is open now, with a deadline of Friday, May 15. Space is limited, so caregivers are encouraged to call soon. For more information or to register, contact the Moultrie County Health Department at (217) 728-4114.
