Expert caregiving advice is only a few clicks away

 

Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) has added a new feature to its website, an online audio archive of TeleCaregiving(sm) Workshops.

Current workshop titles include:

• Caring Together! Sharing Caregiving Responsibilities with Siblings and other Family Members

Each title in the archive is available free, 24 hours a day, and includes an audiofile and companion written materials. Audiofiles are accessible in two formats: as an audio stream for instant online play, or as a file download for saving to a portable media device.

The TeleCaregiving(sm) Audio Workshop Archives can be found on FCA's website at www.caregiver.org under Fact Sheets & Publications, or here.
