Caregiving for a loved one with dementia is rewarding and it is challenging. With so many things on the to-do list and frequently experiencing complex and difficult feelings and emotions, family caregivers very often put their needs last or ignore them all together--which increases their stress and perpetuates their suffering.

The Mindfulness Caregiving approach helps caregivers develop a sense of calmness and resiliency, and teaches some tools and strategies for regulating emotions, reducing stress and re-framing life experiences during their caregiving journey in more constructive and joyful ways.

This course encourages students to become aware of their habitual ways of being in and relating to the world that may further contribute to suffering, and offers compassionate ways to transform these habits. The Mindfulness Caregiving approach provides tools that cultivate happiness, calmness and promotes optimism, gratitude, connectedness & resilience!

The Mindfulness Caregiving course is infused with real-life loving-kindness, creativity, a little humor and recognizes all that you do and connects us as a community of caregivers.
