Involving the Family In the Caregiving Process
Caregiving Seminars
Sharing the care of a parent or sibling with other family members is a transitional exercise in organization, research, time, adjustments and patience. Families may not have a standard model of how to work together on a schedule or how to hold family meetings and organize care. The desire and ability of each family member to provide care adds its own challenges to family dynamics, as does the care receiver’s desire to receive care. Learn simple tools and tips for keeping the family together during the process and challenges of caregiving.
SLCC and Salt Lake County Aging Services partner to offer caregiving seminars to SLCC employees. These seminars provide valuable resources to our employees who may need additional support in the workplace while caregiving.
Caring for Seniors and Other Vulnerable Adults Support is available for family, community and working caregivers as they reach out to meet the needs of our aging population. Come learn about resources, home-based programs and other vital support options and events.
Caring for Those with Dementia: Learning Coping Skills Caring for an individual with dementia has unique challenges. Learn the following tips and tools for keeping the family together during the process and challenges of caregiving: what is dementia?; how is it diagnosed?; useful skills a caregiver should learn to communicate effectively and manage behaviors; simple behavior tips and communication tools to minimize dementia care challenges.
Caring for Those with Depression, Anxiety and Other Mental Health Challenges Depression, anxiety and stress make a care situation difficult. What should we know about those with depression and anxiety? How do we tell if a condition has become chronic? What tips and behaviors can we use to maintain boundaries? How do we stay positive? Come work through scenarios and ask questions.
Compassion Fatigue – Understanding the Need for Developing Resilience Compassion Fatigue (CF) or Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) is a gradual loss of compassion for or the ability to care for others long-term. Initially recognized in First Responders, CF has opened the door to understanding what family and professional caregivers face as they provide long-term care. We will cover how this impacts care, what puts a caregiver at risk and how a caregiver can cope and rebuild a life filled with fatigue.
Coping with Holiday Stress for Caregivers Holiday stress comes from holiday expectations, holiday challenges across cultures, spending more time indoors, gray skies, sundowning and other challenges. We will cover: sundowning, indoor activity options, safe winter activities and winter stress options and techniques.
Guardianship, Conservatorship and Legal Options What’s the difference between a power of attorney (financial or medical), guardianship and conservatorship?

Life Mapping Workshop Often we plan our careers around goals and “logical next steps.” But according to Danielle LaPorte, we aren’t chasing the goal—we’re chasing the feeling that we hope the goal will give us. She thinks that every craving, aspiration or goal we have is driven by a desire to feel a certain way. She’s designed a method that allows us to plan our Life Maps around our core desired feelings, so that we end up with a holistic life planning map which we then can use as a guide for living a soul-centered life. This workshop will introduce you to the concept of Core Desired Feelings (CDF), offer ways that will help you define your own personal CDFs and offer tools that will allow you to begin to apply them to all the major areas of your life: livelihood and lifestyle, body and wellness, creativity and learning, relationships and society, and essence and spirituality.
