The St. Mary’s County Department of Aging & Human Services is pleased to offer Building Better Caregivers, an evidence-based workshop to equip caregivers with tools and knowledge to enhance their caregiving journey.

Through the Building Better Caregivers program, participants will have the opportunity to:
• Discover practical strategies for self-care and stress management.
• Connect with fellow caregivers in a supportive and understanding
environment.
• Gain valuable insights into effective communication and problem-solving
techniques.
• Set personalized goals to enhance their caregiving experience.

This workshop is designed for family caregivers (a parent taking care of a child, spouse supporting spouse, adult child taking care of an aging parent, or anyone providing care to another family member with a disability). Attendance for all sessions is highly recommended. This workshop is only for the caregiver not for their cared one. Respite grants available upon request; please inquire when registering.

This six-week workshop will meet Mondays, January 27-March 3, from 5 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at the Garvey Senior Activity Center. There will be no meeting on Monday, February 17, due to President’s Day. That meeting will be on Tuesday, February 18, at 5 p.m.

This program is offered at no cost to participants thanks to funds provided by the Commissioners of St. Mary’s County and the Maryland Department of Aging Long Term Care and Dementia Care Navigation Program.
