Topic: Tools and Resources for Supporting Family Caregivers

Often we are trained to put a patient at the center of our focus, but caregivers are deserving of their own support while they support a loved one. This program will provide an overview of tools and resources for supporting family caregivers. We will cover some clinical tools and general tips for supporting caregivers, as well as practical resources available locally in Orange County, statewide, and nationally.
