Surviving the Caregiver Marathon with Grace:
Training for Serving in the Long Run
Being a caregiver is tough work — whether part-time or full-time. If you are a family member, paid companion, or someone who seeks to support a caregiver, this course gives you the tools and encouragement you need to maintain your own physical, emotional, and spiritual health as you care for others.
In caregiving, as in all marathons, respect is not always earned by the “fastest” or “best,” but by the one who endures and triumphs in the long run. This training supports caregivers so they can finish the run with love and grace. In this course, caregivers and those who wish to support someone in this role, learn how to build physical and spiritual stamina, how to handle a care receiver’s changing emotional or physical health, and how to develop a support team. We’ll also read encouraging Biblical passages that will strengthen you and make laughter a priority to lighten your day and speed you on your way.
Join us for this interactive overview of the most current research and literature written specifically for today’s caregivers. Come be supported and encouraged by others who by God’s grace and love have made it through the caregiving marathon!
