Folks at Home is offering a series of three workshops for family caregivers that is titled “One Day @ a Time: Taking Care of Yourself While Caring for Others.” The workshops will be facilitated by Kathleen Banchoff, a writer and hospice volunteer based in Providence, R.I. 

The workshops will take place 3:30–5 p.m., on Sunday, Jan. 25, Sunday, Feb. 15, and Sunday, March 1, in Claiborne Parish House at Otey Memorial Parish. 

Topics will include “Communication Dilemmas: Making Others Understand,” “Story-Telling: Entertaining Ways to Ask for Help” and “Spirituality of Caregiving: Finding the Smile.” Each session is a stand-alone workshop and will include “tips and tools” handouts. 

Participants may attend any or all of the three workshops.

The cost of each workshop is a food donation to Community Action Committee or a donation of 1.5 hours to the Folks at Home timebank program.
