Course description: New here? Start here! Learn how to use the Caregiving Made Simple community, find resources, ask questions, and get the most from your membership.

Every caregiver approaches caregiving differently. This short educational activity invites you to reflect on six common caregiving approaches: Protector, Planner, Advocate, Comforter, Problem Solver, and Observer. Your responses are intended to encourage personal reflection and may help you consider approaches you use often as well as areas you may want to explore further. This activity is educational only and is not a psychological assessment, diagnosis, or professional evaluation.

Caregiving doesn’t come with a manual - but you don’t have to figure it all out alone. The ABC’s of Caregiving gives you practical A-Z guidance, simple caregiving tips, helpful resources, and encouragement to help you care with greater confidence, dignity and compassion.

Downloadable checklists, worksheets and practical tools designed to help families organize information, prepare for emergencies, and make caregiving a little simpler.
