The Aging & Disability Resource Center of Rock County is offering the 6-week SAVVY Caregiver Training Program on Wednesday evenings from 6-8 p.m. beginning on August 24th and running through September 28th at the Dr. Daniel Hale Williams Resource Center (the old Pick & Save building) located at 1717 Center Ave., Janesville. There is no cost to attend this program.

Who is SAVVY for? Any family or friend caring for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of progressive dementia. What is SAVVY? Savvy Caregiver is a proven curriculum developed by Dr. Kenneth Hepburn and colleagues at the University of Minnesota. Grounded in research, this educational series teaches strategies, practical real-world skills and helps to reduce stress, both in the caregiver and the person for whom care is being provided. Savvy Caregiver increases the caregiver’s sense of competence and well-being even though there may be little experience. The course will provide a base of dementia knowledge and cover a variety of related caregiving topics and information.

Reserve your spot today for the SAVVY Caregiver Training Program by contacting Karen Tennyson at 608-741-3615 or karen.tennyson@co.rock.wi.us.
