Elaine Sanchez

Caregiver Survival Training is an interactive program that helps family and professional caregivers cope with the emotional stress of caregiving.

Starting with a caregiver self-assessment, Elaine helps attendees recognize their current stress level. She then teaches the process of developing an Attitude of Creative Indifference toward caregiver anger, guilt, depression, and greif.

Depending on the needs of the audience, she will do special sessions on coping with challenging behaviors exhibited by people with Alzheimer's and other dementia-related diseases.

The final portion of the program focuses on attendees developing their own personalized caregiver survival plan.

A full-day is ideal for this workshop, but it can be presented in a half-day session.
