Circles of Care
An interactive course that equips providers to better identify and support family, friend, and neighbor caregivers (FFNC’s).
Join us for an interactive course that equips providers to better identify, connect with, and support family, friend, and neighbor caregivers (FFNC’s). The course highlights strategies and include resources, activity ideas, and guidance for applying what you’ve learned in your work with FFNCs. You might incorporate these materials into your organization’s programming calendar as stand-alone activities or as a series of full-fledged workshop sessions. By the end of this course, you’ll feel empowered to use these materials in any way that works for you.
