Senior Helpers is excited to sponsor an educational event for caregivers of parents, spouses or friends. Experts and professionals in the field of aging and dementia care will introduce caregivers to a variety of caregiving topics to assist them in their caregiving role.

The workshop will take place on Thursday, July 19 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Morning Star Church – The Gallery (1600 Feise Road, Dardenne Prairie, Mo). Topics will include:  

  • General Caregiving Skills, Positioning and Helping Your Loved One Move
