For the purpose of this course, the instructor defines Caregivers as those who are parents of those with disabilities, spouses taking care of spouses, partners taking care of partners, and teens/ adults caring for parents and siblings.
The Caregiver is also a patient advocate. Through this course we will be looking at the storms of life and how we as pastors and/or lay members who do visitations can support Caregivers. During the course, you will develop a program to give support to Caregivers in your local community.
Caregivers are all around us. How can we be there for them? How can we provide spiritual support for them?
You’ll need copies of the following books for this class:
- In Sickness and In Health: Caring for a Loved One with Alzheimer’s, by William M. Grubbs
