Finding Ease in Caregiving Program

Hello KIRC fam!

One of the great aspects of our platform and growing tribe, is being able to connect, share, and lend assistance to one another.

If you or someone you know is caring for someone with dementia, there is a new program you might be interested in learning more about.

I would like to thank my friend and colleague serving on the Equity in Aging Advisory Committee for the California Department of Aging; Master Plan for Aging, David “Jax” Kelly, President at Let’s Kick ASS (AIDS Survivor Syndrome) Palm Springs, for bringing this program to our attention.

Finding Ease in Caregiving Program

Hello!

We are recruiting participants for our Finding Ease in Caregiving Program. We are recruiting caregivers for individuals living with dementia.

Under the direction of Professor Robert Kaplan and Dr. Aaron Guest at Arizona State University, the Finding Ease in Caregiving Program aims to reduce the stress associated with caregiving and provide caregivers with new resources to face the challenges of caregiving.

The program is virtual and delivered on Zoom. Each class meets for 1 hour a week for 8 weeks. Participants are asked to complete three surveys during the program and have the opportunity to earn up to $90 for their participation.

We are happy to answer questions. We have attached a flyer with more details and information about eligibility.

Thanks so much for your assistance!
