The Family Caregiver Training Program is offered through the Community College of Allegheny County in collaboration through the University of Pittsburgh Institute on Aging (UPIA) and the Geriatric Education Center of Pennsylvania. There are two sessions remaining in the month of March. 25 caregivers are allotted space in each of the sessions so pre-registration is key to making sure that space is available. The course is 12 hours total but split into six two hour sessions. The topic covered include Ageless Wisdom, Caring for the Person with Dementia, Managing Transitions of Care, Communicating with Healthcare Providers, Stress Management, and Advanced Planning.
