The free course will be held on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 1 p.m.

Attendees will learn how to navigate challenges presented in caregiving.
“Learn information on how to have vital conversations, ways to assess your
loved one’s needs, tips for organizing important documents, a roundup of federal and
national resources, information on caring for yourself, checklists, medication charts
and contact lists,” the release read.
