Caregiving: The Art of Effective Communication

Knowing how to communicate with your loved one can make a big difference in your effectiveness as a caregiver – and your own emotional well-being.

The National Alliance for Caregiving reports that the number of caregivers in the United States increased by 9.5 million between 2015 and 2020, so that more than 1 in 5 Americans now are caregivers. It is critical that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to assist their loved ones with daily living activities, schedule doctor appointments and create a healthy living environment.

In this class, you’ll learn how exhibiting a calm demeanor can defuse difficult situations and how empathy and patience can strengthen the caregiving relationship.
