Upcoming Educational Series for Caregivers (in person and virtual) RSVP required [email protected] or 1-800-360-6161

SAVVY CAREGIVER (Dementia specific)- Starts July 16- Sioux Falls, SD
Caring for a person with dementia is a role like no other, and a role that requires training. The six sessions will help participants: Understand dementia & its effect on behavior, develop strategies to build contented involvement, develop effective strategies for caregiving & decision making, and adopt a more strategic outlook on caregiving.

POWERFUL TOOLS FOR CAREGIVERS (any diagnosis)- Starts August 2026- Mitchell, SD
Powerful Tools for Caregivers gives you the skills to take care of yourself while caring for someone else. By taking care of your own health and well-being, you become a better caregiver. Whether you provide care for a spouse, partner, parent, or friend; at home or in a care facility, whether down the block or miles away, yours is an important role. This course is for family caregivers like you! The class will give you tools to help: Reduce Stress, Improve Self-Confidence, Manage Time, Set Goals, and Solve Problems, Better Communicate Their Feelings, Make Tough Decisions, and Locate Helpful Resources.

When did you last check in on you?

National Women's Checkup Day is today - and not only is it a reminder to schedule your annual checkup, screenings, or any preventive care you've been putting off - but also to be mindful of your overall, daily wellness.

That might look like:
💪 Scheduling those checkups
🧠 Talking honestly about how you're really doing
😴 Resting without the guilt
🤝 Letting someone help you for a change
✨ Finding one small moment today that's just for you

Never forget that you are worth caring for, too.

Today is the start of Mental Health Awareness week! Take a moment to care for yourself just like you care for others. You deserve the love you give!
