Teleclasses To Help Throughout Your Caregiving Journey
For Family Caregivers and Professionals

Family caregivers: Register today!

Healthcare professionals: Register today!

Our school is about you and your caregiving experience. For health care professionals, the school is about meeting family caregivers where they are on their journey, understanding where they came from, and helping them prepare for their next stage.

We've got teleclasses to help throughout the journey. Teleclasses are a great way to learn, share and support--without leaving your house.

Register and pay for a class, then we'll send you an confirming e-mail with class phone number and access code. In addition to the cost of the class, you'll also incur the cost of a long-distance phone call (what your long-distance rates are through your long-distance carrier).

Not sure what a teleclass is? And, be sure to review our teleclass guidelines.

Here's what participants say about our teleclasses:

--I so enjoyed the course from both a professional and a personal standpoint.

--This was phenomenal!

--Denise, you have such an exceptional manner in leading the discussion and your visualization exercise was the best I've ever encountered!

--I feel better today. I highly recommend the phone class.

What Family Caregivers Say about The Caregiving Years Presentation:

--I just completed a (multi-week) training course for family caregivers; I learned as much in your one-hour presentation as I did in that (multi-week) course.

Our class schedule for family caregivers:

  • The Caregiving Years for Family Caregivers: Our three-week session opens your journey to its meaning. Choose a large group setting at an affordable price or an intimate classroom setting. This is a three-week session; a one-hour class each week for three weeks.

  • Journaling Through The Experience: You feel it--the anger, the guilt, the worry, the anxiety, the frustration. How do you keep those feelings from taking over your life? Documenting your caregiving experience in a journal can be an empowering, releasing experience. We'll help you get started.

  • Rise 'N Shine: Start your week with an early morning class focusing on meditation and inspiration. Sign up for one class, two classes, whatever your schedule allows.

  • Good Night: End your week with a night-time class focusing on meditation and relaxation. Sign up for one class, two classes, whatever your schedule allows.

  • The Godspeed Caregiver: Back to Work: Your caregiving journey has ended; you're facing a new chapter in your life. Our three-week session helps you get back in job search shape.

  • From Stress-Full to Stress-Less: Taking Control of Caregiving. This is a free teleclass (plus you'll incur the cost of a long-distance phone call) for family caregivers. Check back to see when our next free teleclass will occur.

Our class schedule for professionals working with family caregivers:

  • The Caregiving Years for Professionals: Family caregivers look to you for help; we'll make sure you have answers and referrals that help throughout their journey. This is a three-week session; a one-hour class each week for three weeks. (For Train the Trainer information, please e-mail Denise.)

  • Your Caregiving Tools: We share our favorite tools (Caregiving Mission Statement, The Three Be's of Caregiving, Creating Your Caregiving Tool) and show you how to use these tools in your work with family caregivers, whether it be one-on-one, in small groups, or in larger workshops.
  • Coaching Family Caregivers: Learn how professional coaching techniques (asking empowering questions, allowing the client to create their own solutions, creating action plans) move your family caregiver clients to a better, healthier place.
  • Offering Online Support Groups: What To Know, What To Do To Create Online Support Havens: Our online support groups are busiest at night (and, often, in the middle of the night), when a family caregiver finally has the time. That’s one reason online support groups are so effective: They allow access to support 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In this three-week class, we’ll share history of our 11 online support groups, the technology (free!) available to start your own group and how to keep the group a safe haven for all members.


  • How to Start and Nurture A Community-Based Support Group: Would you like to support family caregivers in your community? Or, are you a family caregiver looking for support? In three weeks, we'll share how to start a support group, how to be an effective facilitator and how to market and publicize your new group.

  • Can You Tell Me Who I Am?: Family caregivers may lose independence, jobs and money in their caregiving role. They also lose themselves. In this three-week series, we'll look at tools, skills and exercises you can use with family caregivers to find themselves, which often is a new and improved version of who they were.

  • Helping Family Caregivers Heal the Life-Long Family Rifts: Sisters who don't speak to each other; adult children who withdraw from their parents: Feuding family members affect all generations, but especially the family caregiver. In this class, we'll share ideas and suggestions on how to help family caregivers move past the rifts that can tear a family apart.

Please Note: Classes are non-refundable. However, if you must cancel a session, we'll work with your schedule to add you to our next session.
