ONLINE: This course helps participants navigate the journey of becoming a caregiver for an older person with practical tools and emotional insight. The first session focuses on assessing when and how to step in, holding meaningful conversations, planning collaboratively and accessing support services for the person. In the second session, we explore the emotional side of caregiving: understanding what it means to be a caregiver, recognizing caregiver stress, managing emotional challenges and finding supportive resources. The final session introduces a course booklet with guided questions to help participants reflect on their personal situation. Attendees will begin developing their own caregiving plans and have time to ask questions, troubleshoot obstacles and brainstorm next steps. | Lecture + Q&A, Facilitated discussion.
