Heart of the Caregiver Small Groups. "Whether you represent a church, hospital, community center, a disease or disability association, care center or service – hosting opportunities for the families you serve to connect and share is an important way for you to recognize and support them.  Support groups can be one of those opportunities, but it is important to offer leadership and curriculum to keep participants encouraged, inspired and coming back for more."
"The Heart of the Caregiver®  is a 10-week course developed to take caregivers from feeling overwhelmed to being overjoyed. Caregivers will come to see themselves, their situation and the person they are caring for in a whole new way – through the light of God’s amazing love. The course has been taught at churches, community centers, workshops and retreats for the last five years.

Music & Memory. "We train care organizations how to set up personalized music playlists for those in their care. These music playlists – containing the beloved songs from a person’s formative years – tap deep memories long attached to the brain and can bring listeners back to life, enabling them to feel like themselves again, to converse, socialize, and stay present."
