AUGUSTA — Healthy Living for ME is offering a free workshop for caregivers who are assisting loved ones through memory loss or dementia. Building Better Caregivers will be offered from Tuesday, May 4, through June 8.
The six-session Building Better Caregivers Program helps family caregivers better understand the changes their loved ones are experiencing. Topics include managing caregiver stress, dealing with difficult care partner behaviors, making decisions and planning for the future, communicating effectively with family, friends and health professionals, legal issues related to caregiver, and hiring help.
Workshops participants will meet weekly from 1 to 3:30 p.m. on Zoom. This series is free and open to the public, but registration is required.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
