The series consist of six classes and will give participants an opportunity to learn about the disease and the resources available to them. They will gain knowledge and tools to assist them in coping with their care giving role. Care partners will be able to give better care thus allowing the person to remain in the home longer.

o How to care for the person at home -- April 30
o Planning for the future -- May 14
o Asking for help -- May 21
o Taking care of yourself. – May 28
Studies have shown that three out of ten caregivers will die before the person they are taking care of. These classes are designed to empower the caregiver and lessen the stress.
Participants are invited to attend any or all classes. Participants will receive a special care package.
These free classes will meet once a week on Thursdays: April 16, April 23, April 30, May 14, May 21, and May 28. Class time is from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Elder Services of Berkshire County, 66 Wendell Ave., Pittsfield, MA 01201. To register call 499-0524.
