Creating Confident Caregivers [Video with Anita Kanakaris]

Are you caring for someone with Alzheimer’s, dementia, or memory loss?

Creating Confident Caregivers (CCC)™ is an educational training
program for family members who are caring for a person with a dementia related illness, such as Alzheimer’s Disease. The CCC™  program has been proven to reduce caregiver stress by providing caregivers with useful tools and information.

Creating Confident Caregivers™ is not a support group, but an
opportunity to learn new information and strategies that will make the
job of caregiving easier and more rewarding. Caregivers will learn about
the progression of the disease, how it impacts their loved one, learn
strategies to manage difficult behaviours and the importance of taking
care of themselves.

Caregivers will learn how to:  

• Reduce caregiver related stress 
• Improve caregiver confidence 
• Create a positive caregiving environment 
• Plan daily activities for your loved one based on their strengths 
• Deal with behaviors caused by dementia and its effects on the brain  

The CCC ™ trainings are held for two hours, once a week for six weeks
(see below for training locations, dates and times). Respite care is
available to participants free of charge. All materials, flyers, and
training books are provided. There is no cost to attend this training
however donations are gratefully accepted. The class is limited to 12
participants. Up to three members from one family can attend a training
together. Caregivers should plan to attend all six sessions to get the
full benefit from the program.

The Creating Confident Caregivers™ Program utilizes training methods
from the University of Minnesota’s Savvy Caregiver Program. The CCC
program is supported, in part, by the U.S. Administration on Aging
through its Alzheimer’s Disease Demonstration Grants to States & the
Michigan Office of Services to the Aging...
