The Live Oak Library will be hosting Savvy Caregiver training this spring, starting in March.

Savvy Caregiver is a free, seven-session training program designed for caregivers who serve family members and friends with any form of dementia (i.e. Alzheimer’s). The goal of Savvy is to increase knowledge and skills to lessen caregiver stress and improve levels of care.

Throughout the seven-week series, which begins March 7, caregivers are urged to learn, develop and modify strategies they can use to accomplish goals for their particular caregiving situations.

Those completing this course will:

• Increase skills and knowledge for caregiving,

• Gain confidence to set and alter caregiving goals,

• Understand the progression of dementia,

• Improve caregiver’s self-care skills,

• Increase opportunities for family involvement.

The training will be held at the library from 10 a.m. to noon. Space is limited to the first 15 who register.
